P2P is funded by the European Union Non-State Actors and Local Authorities in Development programme - providing public awareness and education for development in Europe.
Objective
The overarching objective of this programme is to support actions aimed at raising public awareness of development issues and promote education for development in the European Union (EU) and acceding countries. The programme also aims to anchor development policy in European societies, to mobilise greater public support for action against poverty and fairer relations between developed and developing countries, and to change attitudes to the issues and difficulties the developing countries and their peoples are facing.
Priorities of the programme
In order to maximise the impact and effectiveness of this programme, priority is given to actions covering one or more of the following issues:
- Public support for the MDG agenda, with a particular focus on sub-Saharan Africa;
- Coherence for development, with a particular focus on areas of public interest where common goals with development are important such as: migration, trade (including fair trade), security, human rights, social dimension of globalisation and decent work, environment, and HIV/AIDS;
- Media and development.
