Introduction to the Low Value Grants Programme
The Low Value Grants Programme, a pivotal initiative of the ‘Strengthening the Rule of Law and Human Rights Protection in Uzbekistan’ project, aims to empower civil society organizations in Uzbekistan. This programme is jointly implemented by UNDP Uzbekistan and the Ministry of Justice, with crucial funding from the MFA of Finland. Its primary focus is to support organizations that provide free legal aid, especially to vulnerable groups such as women, youth, and persons with disabilities.
Goals and Objectives of the Programme
The key objective of this programme is to enhance the provision of free legal aid to underserved populations residing in remote and rural areas. By fostering the development of a robust free legal aid system and strengthening the capacities of NGOs, this programme aligns seamlessly with the broader goals of promoting rule of law and safeguarding human rights in the region.

They should also possess the necessary organizational structure to ensure the successful implementation of their proposed projects.
