Eastern Partnership: Civil Society Engagement and Innovation Grants

This call for proposals has now closed.

These grants are supported by the European Union through the EU for Integrity Programme for the Eastern Partnership. These grants aim to support government and civil society in the Eastern Partnership strengthen the co-creation and implementation of nationally or locally-led commitments with potentially high impact in opening up government and improving the lives of citizens. This will be achieved by complementing the existing support available to these countries with enhanced technical assistance from partners, regular peer exchange and knowledge sharing activities, small grants for coalition building, implementation support, and digital innovations in open government. 

These grants will be managed by the OGP Support Unit. Contracts were signed between the OGP Support Unit and the grantees. The grantees are required to collaborate with the OGP Government Point of Contact (POC), civil society groups engaged in the OGP process, and/or the multi-stakeholder forum (MSF) during the implementation of activities related to these grants.
