| Project name: | Civic Advocacy Partnership Program (CAPP) | |||
| Short description: | Program aims to help local NGOs and civic organizations strengthen their advocacy, coalition building, and watch-dog capacities, and to address citizen needs through education, advocacy, and the provision of services. The project will provide grants to local NGOs to advocate for policy changes and to monitor the commitment of elected leaders to implement promised policies and legislation. CAPP will also provide direct assistance to support concrete community-based civic advocacy activities as well as give assistance to the Teledom Association and network of Teledoms in BiH. In 2006, CAPP supported a movement of 400 local NGOs and interest groups which voiced citizens’ concerns to political leaders through the creation of a citizens’ election platform signed by 25% of registered voters. CAPP now focuses on issues included in the platform such as: unemployment, poverty reduction, pensions, oversight of public funds and services, European integration, public funding of NGOs and education on the role of NGOs in society. | |||
