Martin will lead the work of the EaP CSF Secretariat during current Director Tania Marocchi’s upcoming maternity leave.
A native from the Czech Republic, Martin brings more than 20 years of experience in non-profit management having previously worked for Caritas and the Danish Refugee Council. He is also familiar with the Eastern Partnership region having recently led Oxfam’s regional Response Programme in Ukraine.
“Martin brings a wealth of experience that can greatly support the advancement of EaP CSF’s mission and activities. During my absence, he will continue supporting the contribution of EaP civil society organisations in political debates and policy reforms. The beginning of 2025 shows us, if ever there was a need, that the voice of civil society is even more essential to bolster our democratic values. I am confident Martin’s wealth of experience and regional knowledge will help the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum in supporting the democratic and European aspirations of our friends in the Eastern Partnership” declared Tania Marocchi, Director of the EaP CSF Secretariat.
“I am delighted to take on this role as interim director of the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum. Recent political developments have shown both the great upheaval of the international world order of the last 70 years but also the strong aspirations for democracy and freedom of citizens and civil society organisations across the Eastern Partnership. I look forward to working with our partners towards the European future of our Eastern Partnership neighbours” said Martin Vane, interim Director of the EaP CSF Secretariat.
