*** In the framework of the 5th Call for Proposals, the Secretariat received 39 proposals, out of which 31 passed the eligibility screening (see full list below) – these have now been passed on to the Selection Committee ***

 

This call aims to support the work of the five thematic Working Groups of the EaP CSF. The priorities for each Working Group and the application process are described in the Guidelines for Applicants.

The distribution of proposals per each Working Group:

Applicants were encouraged to develop proposals that would contribute to the effective policy-making and advocacy of the objectives of the EaP CSF at the EU level, following the thematic priorities of EaP Platforms and Panels. They were asked to focus on advancing reforms in the EaP countries and encourage activity of the civil society in policy domains, especially where civil society has not been active so far. The projects proposals should have ideally concentrated on connecting activities with the interests and needs of the wider public. Proposals that complied with more than one of these objectives were especially welcome.

The EaP CSF Re-granting scheme supports the projects of the EaP CSF members with a regional dimension that contribute to achieving its mission and facilitate the work of its five thematic Working Groups. Four calls for proposals have been implemented on the course of 2015-2018 with 61 projects benefiting from the scheme. The projects delivered substantial policy input, capacity building and trainings, as well as activities and campaigns focusing on the grassroots level connecting the civil society with the interest and needs of wider public in the EaP countries. The project results contributed to the policy implementation under the EaP multilateral roof, to the process of reforms in the EaP countries and to EaP CSF advocacy in Brussels, EU and EaP capitals. One of the major focus of the scheme is to strengthen the regional perspective, bridging the emerging gaps among the EaP countries while acknowledging their different paths and contractual relations with the EU.

In 2018, in the framework of the EaP CSF Re-granting Scheme the Secretariat received 52 proposals, out of which 38 passed the eligibility screening. The Selection Committee decided to provide funding for 13 projects.
