This request aims to address the rising conflicts and support regional efforts to build peace and uphold the rule of law. As well as tackling the underlying causes of violence and fostering societal participation and integration, it aims to encourage innovative and artistic initiatives that contribute to long-term peace and stability in the area. Low Value Grants (LVG) will be given to proposals that are accepted in order to carry out projects in conjunction with neighbourhood stakeholders and communities.
