Working Together to Improve Governance and Anticorruption
12 март 2020 г.
The Open Society Initiative for Europe announces a call for proposals to support civil society actors working to combat corruption, state capture, and poor governance of public institutions.
Application Deadline: May 13, 2020
Across the region, citizens are often faced with public
institutions that are unaccountable, corrupt, and undermine democratic
processes and the quality of public services. Interventions only focused on
monitoring, advocacy, and legal reform have largely proven insufficient to
generate positive change. However, we witness promising examples of public
sector-civil society collaborations to address these challenges.
We are calling for
applications focused on empowering civil society–driven initiatives to
increase transparency, accountability, and public participation processes
to strengthen public institutions. These initiatives should be implemented in
partnership with public institutions at the local, municipal, regional, or
national levels, potentially (but not necessarily) also working together with
business/private sector stakeholders. They should tackle important governance
or corruption challenges and implement solution-oriented and practical
approaches to improve the governance of public institutions and their impact on
citizens.
