BackThe IOI offers funding for Ombudsman-related projects in the regions on a regular basis. The high number of applications within the IOI’s regional subsidies programme shows the increasing need for direct financial aid.
Many promising projects received funding so far. These include – among others – an awareness-raising programme for women’s and childrens' rights, training on transparency and good governance, the development of a starter kit for Ombudsman institutions, guidance on how to implement a human rights based approach to the complaint handling work, an information campaign against human trafficking, guidance on how to measure the impact of Ombudsman investigations.
Furthermore, the IOI has established a Crisis Fund for financial aid in times of a crisis.
