EHMA has joined the EU4Health Civil Society Alliance in raising concerns over new restrictions on civil society funding, which may significantly impact the ability of organisations to contribute to policy and advocacy efforts.<\/p>\n

Under the updated guidelines, operating grants provided through the EU LIFE programme can no longer be used for policy and advocacy activities. This decision sets a concerning precedent for civil society organisations (CSOs) working across various policy areas, including health, by limiting their role in shaping policy discussions.<\/p>\n

At the same time, uncertainty persists regarding funding under the EU4Health programme. The EU4Health 2025 Work Programme has yet to be published, leaving health CSOs without clarity on available operating grants. Sustainable funding mechanisms are essential to ensure that CSOs can meaningfully participate in policy-making and contribute to the protection and improvement of public health across Europe.<\/p>\n

EHMA supports the call for the EU to reconsider these restrictions and provide a transparent timeline for the publication of the EU4Health 2025 Work Programme. Ensuring stable and accessible funding for civil society is crucial for an inclusive and effective health policy environment.<\/p>\n
