More than 60 CSOs’ representatives took part in the information sessions for the partnership grants for organisational development announced by the Civil Society Resource Center (CSRC). Four such sessions were held in Skopje, Strumica, Bitola and Kichevo. These events proved to be useful for CSOs because they had an opportunity to ask questions and immediately get answers to all the ambiguities and doubts.
Jasmina Chaushoska from the Civil Society Resource Center presented in details the application guidelines, the application form and its attachments. She explained who can apply for the call, what activities are expected from the applicants, what costs are eligible, what documents are required for applying and how to fill in the application.
The call for partnership grants for organisational strengthening was announced on 8th April 2019, and the deadline for submission of applications is 8th May 2019, until 5 pm. The interested organisations can ask questions related to the call to jch@mcms.mk no later than 26th April, and all questions and answers will be published on the CSRC site on 3rd May 2019. The purpose of this type of grants is to strengthen the capacities of small CSOs that act at the local level in partnership with more developed organisations.
