New reports from the European Commission's Development Education and Awareness Raising Programme.

"The European Commission's Development Education and Awareness Raising Programme (DEAR) supports projects that engage the European Union public in worldwide issues of social, economic and environmental development. The DEAR programme works with civil society organisations and local authorities to promote universal values of freedom, democracy and the rule of law and enables the European public to make positive contributions to global development."

DEAR have published a report giving information about grant supported projects following their 2013 and the 2016 Calls for Proposals. The report provides an overview of the reach of projects and estimates the number of people actively involved from across the EU in European Commission supported DEAR projects.
