Форуми во заедницата

The Programme aims to support the participatory development of communities on a local level through the organizing of eight forum sessions – community forums followed by implementation of the forum sessions’ projects through appropriate funds. The forum represents a development platform aimed at: (1) the citizens improving their own lives through their own ideas and participation, and (2) the administration developing a participatory, responsible and reliable local governance.

Objectives of the Community Forums Programme include:

• Involve citizens in local governance;
• Establish partnerships between local stakeholders; 
• Improve the local community’s project development capacity; 
• Improve the local administration’s capacity related to decentralization; 
• Specific improvement of the local social and economic environment.

Eligible to participate are all non-profit organizations and organizations registered according to the Law on Civic Associations and Foundations, as well as consulting firms in the Republic of Macedonia that meet the conditions of the open call.
