21.01.2013

The Call for Applications is part of the project “The Role of Civil Society in EU integration processes: real engagement though effective involvement” supported by International Visegrad Fund.

The project is led by the International Center for Human Development (Armenia) and is implemented together with project partners from V4 countries: Institute for Public Affairs (Slovakia), Policy Association for an Open Society (Czech Republic), European Center for Non-for-Profit Law (Hungary), Association Integration and Development (Poland) and two EaP countries: Laboratory for Legislative Initiatives (Ukraine) and Georgian Foundation for Strategic and International Studies (Georgia).

The goal of the project is to facilitate European integration processes in Eastern partnership countries, through:

  • pro­viding access to the unique expe­ri­ence and know-how of the Visegrad Group coun­tries in enhancing the role of the civil society in the European integration processes, and

To contribute to the above goal ICHD and partners will organize capacity building interactive trainings for CSOs in EaP countries involved in the project: Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine.

Overall, this capacity building initiative is designed to strengthen the insti­tu­tional capac­ities of CSOs regarding communication and PR instruments to be used for more effective involvement of the society in the European integration processes.
