Call for bilateral collaboration – LOT 1: Partnership development and preparation

Aprašymas

Bilateral cooperation provides an important opportunity to strengthen the capacity and resilience of civil society organisations. However, such cooperation is often hindered by practical and structural barriers, including language differences, differences in culture and working methods, and administrative and procedural complexities. Furthermore, establishing and maintaining stable international partnerships can be challenging, particularly when cooperation is insufficiently structured or supported during its initial stages. The Call for Bilateral Cooperation – Lot 1: Partnership Development and Preparation provides financial support for preparatory visits and partnership development activities aimed at establishing and strengthening long-term cooperation between Croatian CSOs and organisations from the Donor States (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). All bilateral initiatives must contribute to the bilateral outcome “Enhanced bilateral cooperation in the civil society sector”. Eligible activities may include preparatory visits for project development, meetings to prepare joint applications, as well as hybrid and follow-up cooperation activities. The expected results of the Call include an increased number of high-quality partnerships between civil society organisations from Croatia and entities from the Donor States, as well as the creation of concrete opportunities for future cooperation, including the development of joint projects, advocacy initiatives or networks within
