JOINT INITIATIVE ON STRENGTHENING ROMA CIVIL SOCIETY IN THE WESTERN BALKANS AND TURKEY

The overall aim of the project, which has been implemented by the Zero Discrimination Association since 2016, is to develop and improve the dialogue between Roma civil society and local and national authorities. The project aims to improve the professional capacities of Roma NGOs, structuring their long-term strategic organisational planning, raising awareness for Roma inclusion and improving cooperation with local authorities to support structural change in local policies and to enable Roma NGOs to become effective policy makers. Within the scope of the project, capacity building trainings and sub-financing programmes are provided to Roma NGOs to strengthen their capacities.
