Engaging Central Europe

Enhancing Innovative Forms of Public Participation

Public trust in government is dropping across Central Eastern Europe, while citizens disengage and lose interest in democratic processes. Insufficient transparency, lack of open governance, and too little accountability of public officials result in low levels of civic engagement.

For this reason, the Engaging Central Europe (ECE) program of The German Marshall Fund of the United States is launching a dedicated call for proposals. This funding opportunity aims to support civil society organizations (CSOs) in Hungary and Poland that encourage active citizenship and create innovative formats of offline or online public participation at the local, regional, or national level.

Eligibility

Under this call, ECE will support projects with a duration of 4 to 12 months. Grants ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 will be made available to CSOs fostering active citizen participation. CSOs must be legally registered in Hungary or Poland.

Priority will be given to projects that meet one or more of the following criteria:

• Offer innovative forms of online or offline participation

• Apply new tools and ways for CSOs to participate in decision-making and conduct oversight of allocation of resources

• Equip their target groups with knowledge or skills to act collectively

• Deal with or promote the topics of democratic accountability, transparency, open government

• Boost and innovate political or public engagement at the local, regional, or national level with special attention to participation in public deliberation, political decision-making, and implementation or monitoring of policy processes

• Reach out to new constituencies and respond to emerging needs for public participation

Applications will be evaluated and selected by experts affiliated with ECE within the frame of a single stage call. Applicants will be informed about the result of their proposal by the end of August. Successful applicants are expected to sign a grant agreement with The German Marshall Fund of the United States.

• Effective outreach/communication/advocacy strategy

• Quality of the monitoring and evaluation plan, including data collection

Advancing Networks and Mutual Learning among Civil Society Actors

Creating lasting change and effective advocacy for public good is unlikely to be achieved without close cooperation among civil society actors. Civil society is stronger by working together across geographical and topical delineations. To best leverage the strength of civil society organizations (CSOs), however, sustainable networks of joint action, exchange, and mutual learning need to be established and nurtured first.

For this reason, the Engaging Central Europe (ECE) program of The German Marshall Fund of the United States is launching a dedicated call for proposals. This funding opportunity aims to support networks of CSOs that facilitate the exchange of ideas, best practices, and lessons learned among a variety of regional civil society actors or conduct joint action at the regional, national, or international level with a lead applicant in Bulgaria, Hungary or Poland.

Eligibility

Under this call, ECE will support projects with a duration of 4 to 12 months. Grants ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 will be made available to CSOs fostering active citizen participation. CSOs leading the project must be legally registered in Bulgaria, Hungary or Poland but can involve organizations from Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia or Romania.

Priority will be given to projects that meet one or more of the following criteria:

• Help establish networks of exchange between various civil society actors

• Reach organizations and initiatives active outside of big agglomerations

• Create sustainable avenues for mutual learning on a regional, national, or international scale

• Develop new connections among a diverse range of stakeholder

• Develop new forms of joint action at the regional, national, or international levels

Applications will be evaluated and selected by experts affiliated with ECE within the frame of a single-stage call. Applicants will be informed about the result of their proposal by the end of August.

Successful applicants are expected to sign a grant agreement with The German Marshall Fund of the United States.

Enhancing Online and Offline Forms of Citizen Participation in Public Deliberation and Democratic Processes 

Program Description 

Public trust in government is dropping across Central Europe, while citizens disengage and lose interest in democratic processes. Insufficient transparency, lack of open governance, and too little accountability of public officials result in low levels of civic engagement.  

In contrast, civil society and the enabling infrastructures it creates are crucial to counter the negative trends of low public participation and political apathy, to foster civic engagement, and to ensure the equal enjoyment of fundamental rights and EU values in society as a whole.  

For this reason, The Transatlantic Foundation (TF), in cooperation with the Engaging Central Europe (ECE) program of The German Marshall Fund of the United States, is launching a dedicated Call for Proposals. This funding opportunity aims to support civil society organizations (CSOs) with the objective to enhance online and offline citizen participation in public deliberation and decision-making processes in Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia.

The available overall call budget is EUR 300,000. TF reserves the right not to award all available funds depending on the proposals received and the results of the evaluations.

• other online/offline forms of supporting civic engagement at the local, regional, or national level in public deliberation, political decision-making, and implementation or monitoring of policy processes 

The project activities must take place in one or more of the targeted countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia. Cross-border activities with other EU member states may be considered as well.

Supporting Civil Society Organizations’ Resilience in Shrinking Spaces 

Program Description

Civil society is a key advocate and main bulwark of democracy, fundamental rights, and European values but its capacity and reach has become severely limited by the shrinking of space for it in several EU member states in Central Europe.
