FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANISATIONS

With Swiss Government Support, Joint UN Programme "PRO - Local Governance for People and Nature" through a Call for Proposals (CfP) will support at least 20 local civil society organisations (CSOs) from Šumadija, West, East and South Serbia in the implementation of socially integrated services, bringing together at least two of three thematic areas: social protection, education and health.

The total budget for this CfP is 273,000 EUR. The value of grants awarded per project will be between 10,000 and 13,650 EUR.

The implementation of activities within the projects will go on between 10 and 12 months, while active provision of socially integrated services must last at least eight months.

The aim of the CfP is to improve the approach to access to rights and meeting the needs of at least 2,000 citizens from vulnerable groups at the local level, focusing on Roma (especially from unsanitary settlements), persons with disabilities (including children and youth with developmental difficulties), as well as persons accessing the right to support according to the Law on Social Protection.

The CfP is organised through a competitive process, and the selection of beneficiaries will be done through an evaluation and ranking of the submitted project proposals. More on the process and criteria for the selection of beneficiaries can be found in the Public Call Description and Criteria.
