Action Document Mainstreaming Annex | Guiding Questions for mainstreaming purpose

Article 8.8 of the NDICI-Global Europe regulation provide that ‘Programmes and actions under the Instrument shall mainstream the fight against climate change, environmental protection, human rights, democracy, gender equality and, where relevant, disaster risk reduction, and shall address interlinkages between the SDGs, to promote integrated actions that can create co-benefits and meet multiple objectives in a coherent way. Those programmes and actions shall be based on a comprehensive multi-disciplinary analysis of context, capacities, risks and vulnerabilities, integrate a resilience approach and be conflict sensitive, taking into account conflict prevention and peacebuilding. They shall be guided by the principles of ‘do no harm’ and of ‘leaving no one behind’.

The guiding questions in the present annex to the Action Document (AD) are to be used primarily to support the drafting of the AD by the Lead and/or Responsible Service to ensure mainstreaming of key cross-cutting issues linked to policy and programmatic priorities.
