The Prison Department launches an additional call for NGO project initiatives
The Prison Department, implementing the pre-defined project Development of Quality Based Lithuanian Correctional Service System(PDP 3) implemented under the EEA and Norwegian Financial Mechanisms programme Justice and Home Affairs 2014-2021, invites NGOs to participate in the provision of services to sentenced foreign nationals, as well as to sentenced non-nationals of the Republic of Lithuania and persons who do not speak the official language. The activities proposed by the NGOs are expected to contribute to the well-being of this group of inmates in prisons and to their successful and effective integration into society.
Activities such as social skills training and training relevant to this group of inmates will be funded. Funding is also planned for the adaptation of prison spaces for persons from different backgrounds and cultures, and for individual counselling by professionals (e.g., lawyers, psychologists, addiction counsellors) for the targeted group of inmates. The NGO services shall be available in Vilnius Correction House and the 3rd sector of Pravieniškės Correction House-Open Prison Colony, as well as in halfway houses attached to the facilities.
500.000 Eur shall be allocated from the project budget to the tender, with the minimum amount per one project being 25.000 Eur.
NGOs that are able and willing to provide the above-mentioned services to sentenced foreign nationals, as well as to sentenced non-nationals of the Republic of Lithuania and persons who do not speak the official language, are invited to submit a completed application form and a detailed estimate of the project to the Prison Department by email [email protected] before 17 January 2023.
