Annex 1 – Description of the action
PPVOT 2013 – Pilot Project – Funding for victims of torture
3. PROBLEM DEFINITION4. GENERAL AND SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
The rehabilitation centres for victims of torture in EU are at an increased risk of not providing service to the victims. Severe problems were identified with the Member States' ability to identify victims of torture and very few Member States offer the instructed rehabilitation, many have no assistance to offer at all. The diversity of origins of victims leads to difficulties to organise themselves and increases their isolation, making them even more vulnerable. This pilot project is to prevent physical and mental suffering to these survivors.The funding should cover actions (described under section 2 above) designed, developed and implemented in EU Member States. In this context describe the issue/challenge that the proposal aims to address.Please demonstrate your knowledge of the recent developments in the EU in particular concrete actions and available best practices. You must demonstrate a clear understanding of the context and the challenge that the proposal is planning to address.In this section please describe also the general and specific objectives of the project in relation to the above described issue/challenge. Please explain to what extent these objectives are in line with the aims of the PPVOT.
5. DELIVERABLES and EXPECTED RESULTS
6. EXPECTED IMPACT
7. EU DIMENSION and ADDED VALUE
Provide a detailed list of the planned deliverables (outputs) of the activities (quantify as much as possible).
Describe the expected results of the action and identify the beneficiaries of these results. What will be the short/medium and long term impacts and in particular the added value of these results?
