Description This Action aims at strengthening participatory democracies and the EU
integration process in the Western Balkans and Turkey by improving the
legal, policy and financial environment for civil society and pluralistic media,
by building the capacities of CSOs and media organizations as well as
enhancing the mechanisms of cooperation between CSOs and public
authorities.
A stronger role of civil society and media, as effective and accountable
independent actors, will benefit the public institutions in the beneficiaries and
facilitate a greater focus on the needs of citizens in policy-making. In
addition, the involvement of civil society and media in the pre-accession
process can contribute to deepening citizens' understanding of the reforms a
country needs to complete in order to qualify for EU membership and support
reconciliation in societies.
