Closely following the development of the IPA III Civil Society Facility 2021-2023 Multi-Beneficiary (Regional), BCSDN in cooperation with several CSOs and networks from the region prepared comments on the Action Document, presenting the views and positions of these organizations regarding the support to civil society in the IPA beneficiary countries. The comments highlight the lack of consultation and limited access to information around the planning process and, among other, note that the implementation of over 70% of the funds through UN Bodies, Member states, and international agencies jeopardizes the capacities and local ownership of CSOs’ of the processes. Please contact us at executiveoffice@balkancsd.net to endorse the document and join the advocacy efforts. Read more here.
