The Ministry plans to submit the draft law to the Government by the end of March.

The Strategy defines the Government commitment to foster development and cooperation in several fields.

The Code sets out basic rules and procedures relating to the government's distribution of public grants to NGOs.

The workshops aimed to raise awareness among stakeholders about the key principles on European level regarding CSO regulations and issues that should be considered in developing codes of conduct as self-regulatory mechanisms.

ECNL gave opening remarks, outlining basic features of the draft Law and how it differs from the current, regressive Law on Funds and Foundations.

ECNL served as an expert consultant to the working group that supported the development of the Strategy and Action Plan.

The seminar aimed to discuss ways to increase transparency and participation of citizens and CSOs in the legislative process, so as to improve the quality of the adopted policies and laws.

ECNL was awarded a grant by the European Commission to improve the legislative and policy framework for freedom of association (FoA) and civil society in Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Moldova.

Since 2004 thirty municipalities in BiH have signed local compacts, which define principles of collaboration with NGOs and introduce transparent mechanism of NGOs public financing at a municipality level.
