The European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) was established in 2006 to support projects in the area of human rights and fundamental freedoms, and to strengthen the rule of law and democratic reform in countries outside the EU. It provides assistance mainly to civil society organisations, and does not require the consent of national authorities.
