To tackle the ongoing challenges and threats to the European democracies, a number of CSOs develop initiatives to protect democratic institutions and reverse the trend of shrinking civic space. Such as: coalition building, knowledge sharing, campaigning, empowering activists, and networking. Based on the conversations with the community, CFEU has decided to allocate its 2020 budget to bring structural support to CSOs to further their impact and development, and to focus on strengthening their capacities and long-term strategy. CFEU support up to 10K EUR that can be used to: reflect on the organization’s governance and new orientations; allocate staff time to build/consolidate alliances and create new connections; cross-pollinate learnings, exchange/replicate/good upscale practices; fund advocacy efforts; experiment new methods, etc. Read more here.
