Skip Navigation LinksHome - Item
Deadline: 12-09-2014 Location: Albania Back


Background                                                                         Max. Grant amount: EUR 800.000

Albania signed the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) with the EU in June 2006. Promotion of Civil Society under the SAA is deemed essential in ensuring the widest possible participation of all the sectors of society in the process of European integration. In this context, Civil Society represents an essential element of democratic public life in the effort to comply with the objectives of the SAA. The European Partnership asks the Government to encourage the active participation of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in government decision-making. However, to attain such involvement further efforts are needed. The Commission Communication on the Enlargement Strategy and Main Challenges 2007-8 and the latest Strategy Documents from 2008 to 2013 underline the importance of civil society being able to play its role in a participatory democracy.
The 'Civil Society Facility' (CSF) was set up in 2008 to financially support the development of civil society. The CSF aims at contributing to the consolidation and broadening of political reforms and EU alignments and to the progress made to date with regard to the implementation of the EU acquis and participatory democracy in the country.
