Launching of consultations: Call for Proposals for Civil Society and Media Organisations

4 Feb 2025

IPA III Civil Society Facility (CSF) and Media 2024–25, Republic of North Macedonia

The Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of North Macedonia is launching a serial of consultations with civil society and other stakeholders to jointly identify priorities and other specifics for the Calls for Proposals programmed under IPA III Civil Society Facility and Media programme 2024-2025. This online consultation is open from 04th to 20th February, 2025.

The Calls will reflect the EU’s strategic approach for the enlargement region, as outlined in the IPA III programming framework, and will focus on the key policy areas essential for advancing the EU integration of North Macedonia. In this context, civil society and media organisations play a crucial role in identifying key policy areas and actively engaging in the policy and decision-making processes across various themes that are important for the EU accession and approximation process.

To this end, the European Union programmed a substantive support for civil society and media organisations through the IPA Civil Society Facility (CSF) and Media Programme. In this context, the IPA III CSF and Media Programme 2024-2025 outlines priorities for further political and financial engagement with civil society and media organisations, in line with the objectives of the DG NEAR Guidelines for EU support to civil society in enlargement region 2021-2027.

This questionnaire should assist the EU Delegation in identifying priority themes, type of actions, and other specifics for the following Calls for proposals:

  1. Call for Proposals (Action Grants)- Support to Civil Society systematic participation in the EU accession process and negotiations;
  2. Call for Proposals (Action Grants) – Support to Civil society and media organisations across various thematic policy areas;
  3. Call for Proposals (Operating Grants) – Framework Partnership Agreements

Please submit the Questionnaire using the link below by Thursday, 20 February 2025, COB, to ensure your input is considered before launching the Calls in the first quarter of 2025.

We thank you for your cooperation and looking forward for your valuable contributions.
