Reassess & Reboot – Civil Society’s Quest for Better Reforms in the Eastern Partnership: project final conference

The EU-funded Eastern Partnership Civil Society Facility, which supported civil society organisations and activists in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine during the past four years, is coming to an end, with an online final conference, ‘Reassess&Reboot – Civil Society’s Quest for Better Reforms in the Eastern Partnership’, on 22 March.

From 2016 to 2020, the project brought together thousands of beneficiaries and stakeholders in the Eastern partner countries to engage them in projects and reforms seeking to benefit their fellow citizens and enhance the impact of civil society’s activities.

The Eastern Partnership Civil Society Facility was one of the first EU projects in the region to organise annual hackathons, bringing together the civic tech communities of these countries, and supporting the development of several digital tools for citizens. It produced tailor-made online courses and webinars on complex and sensitive issues such as the potential role of civil society in the energy sector. The project also promoted the good work of civil society actors, highlighting among other things the fast response and capacity of organisations and people to adapt in a crisis situation such as the COVID-19 pandemic. It identified and supported the work and professional development of high-potential civil society activists through its Fellowship programme.

The final conference will celebrate the civil society achievements in the countries, and engage the participants in a critical discussion of current and future trends affecting civil society and the region.

The conference will be held in English with Russian interpretation.
