On 21 June 2021, the Civica Mobilitas grantees followed a presentation on the First Draft of the Code of Ethics for the Macedonian CSOs. The 36 CSOs’ representatives learned that the Code of Ethics is a tool to strengthen the civil society self-regulation system and contribute to greater CSOs’ accountability, increasing the citizens’ and donors’ trust in the sector. Divided into different groups, the participants discussed the self-regulatory mechanisms and addressed issues related to civil society legitimacy and the institutionalization of the national Code of Ethics. The participants concluded that creating the Code of Ethics as a self-regulation mechanism will contribute to a better image of the sector and more transparent and accountable CSOs in the long run. This activity was a part of the EU-funded programme “Sustainable Civil Society – State Financing of CSOs”, implemented by the MCIC in partnership with BCSDN and CNVOS from Slovenia. Read more here.
