The Partnership Fund provides an opportunity for civil society organizations and community centers to implement joint initiatives between more experienced organizations working at a national level and local organizations with infrastructure and access to local communities. This cooperation aims for exchange of experience, knowledge, and good practices, as well as sustainable strengthening of the civil sector in the country.

The PACT project team recommends that applicant organizations regularly check their profiles in the Electronic Proposal Submission System (EPSS), where updates on the next stages of the call will be posted.
