| Description | The Civil Society Facility Turkey ("Sivil Düşün III" including support to the Resource Centre) aims to improve the environment for active citizenship and to strengthen the capacity of organised active citizens. The action will contribute to an improvement in the enjoyment of freedoms of expression, peaceful assembly and association; to an enhanced capacity of civil society organisations (CSOs) to benefit from public and private funding mechanisms; to a more effective mobilisation of support from citizens and decision-makers by organised citizens; and to more effective civil society networks, information sharing, and collaboration. The action proposes innovative and flexible tools to answer the needs of civil society in Turkey, going away from the standard project approach. It ensures the EU a very high visibility and shows its repeated commitment to support civil society, including at a grass-root level, in Turkey. |
