The overarching goal of the ETK\u0130N\u0130Z EU Programme is to strengthen the role of CSOs in promoting and protecting human rights at various levels by expanding their monitoring and advocacy capacities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Core Objectives:<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n ETK\u0130N\u0130Z provides expert support to CSOs to help them document human rights conditions in T\u00fcrkiye, facilitate multi-stakeholder analysis, and launch advocacy campaigns calling for better alignment with international human rights standards. Since its inception in 2019, the programme (officially titled “ETK\u0130N\u0130Z EU Programme for Monitoring Human Rights in T\u00fcrkiye”<\/i>) has contributed to a significant increase in the number of organisations conducting systematic human rights monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Human rights monitoring comprises three elements: It is a process, not a one-time activity. Monitoring assesses the extent to which existing laws and practices comply with international human rights standards. Advocacy efforts, training sessions, or meetings that do not incorporate systematic monitoring do not fall within the scope of HRM eligible for this facility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Etkiniz is a European Union programme dedicated to supporting civil society organisations (CSOs) involved in human rights monitoring and advocacy in T\u00fcrkiye.
