Within the scope of the support, it contributes to strengthening capacities in monitoring, documenting, carrying out advocacy, and engaging with national and international accountability mechanisms related to human rights.
Within the scope of ETKİNİZ, activity support, mobility support, mentoring support, and needs-based training support are provided. The supports are granted in kind, and eligible expenses are covered by the ETKİNİZ Technical Support Team.
