Recital 16 a (new)
(16a) The new challenges in the Union's Neighbourhood and beyond call for a more flexible, efficient and targeted approach to the financing of the Union's external policies in the field of promoting democracy and human rights, in line with the principles guiding the present review of the Union's external instruments. To that end, the establishment of the European Endowment for Democracy will allow the Union to provide context- specific, timely and bottom-up assistance for democracy support. Its funding and programming should be complementary to the other external instruments of the Union, including the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights and Instrument for Stability , maximising the overall coverage, coherence and sustainability of the Union's policies in favour of democratisation.
