Cooperative Grants Programme- Supporting NGOs Within and Beyond CEE borders
Application deadline: July 12, 2002( for concept papers)
NGOs from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the Newly Independent States

non-governmental organizations from CE (Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary,
Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia), SEE (Albania, Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, FYR Macedonia, Romania and Yugoslavia) and
NIS (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldavia, Russia and Ukraine)
whose work focuses primarily on the environment, are eligible to apply. NGOs
must propose a project that includes cooperation with an NGO partner in at
least one other eligible country. The project may be no longer than 15
months in duration. Proposals that include Danish NGOs or an NGO(s) from a
country outside the lead NGO's sub-region (CE, SEE or NIS) will be favoured.
Cooperation with local and regional authorities as well as with the business

awarding. Danish NGOs showing interest in working in the region are eligible
for funding through Small Grants Facility Programme run by the Danish
Outdoor Council. A start-up grant of up to EUR 1,500 will be offered by the
REC to NGOs in order to help them meet the partners and prepare a full
application. In addition, the REC will assist the NGOs in preparing the full
proposal by providing training/assistance to the NGOs during the project
preparation meeting. Full project proposals will be submitted by October 21,
2002.
