Building resilient civil society: capacity-building grants for civil society organisations in the Eastern Partnership

The Transatlantic Foundation (TF), in cooperation with the Black Sea Trust for Regional Cooperation programme of the German Marshall Fund of the United States has launched a dedicated call for proposals for civil society organisations (CSOs) from Eastern Partner countries to deliver capacity-building programmes aimed at enhancing the resilience of CSOs in the EaP region. 

This call is launched as part of the ‘Enhancing the Resilience of Civil Society in the Eastern Partnership’ (ERICS-EaP) project, funded by the European Commission and led by the Transatlantic Foundation.

The primary goal of the call is to equip CSOs with the knowledge and tools to mitigate and navigate region-wide challenges, including geopolitical, related to disinformation or digital security, or country-specific challenges (domestic politics, legal constraints, political culture, malign narratives, or ongoing conflicts).

CSOs can apply for funding to support a variety of capacity building activities: developing training, seminars, or learning opportunities. Cross-border activities and networking are encouraged.

The grant amount available under this call is €20,000 covering a project duration of a maximum of six months.

The deadline for applications is 1 March.
