“CAPACITY BUILDING OF NGOS WORKING ON CORRUPTION, ORGANIZED CRIME AND ILLEGAL MIGRATION”

KCSS researcher Donika Emini has attended the first workshop of the project entitled: Civil Democratic Development (Civil De-De) - Training program on Capacity Building of NGOs Working on Corruption, Organized Crime and Illegal Migration. This program is a one-year long training particularly targeting NGOs working on issues related to corruption, organized crime, and illegal migration. This program is being implemented by ZIP Institute in Macedonia, GLPS in Kosovo and is being supported by the International Visegrad Fund and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea.

This project aims to improve, on one hand, the collaborative and on the other hand, the advocacy capacities of Western Balkans CSOs by sharing best practices of Visegrad member states and provision of person-to-person assistance.

Civil De-DE is an innovative project aiming at advancing civil excellence through utilization of a web-based platform for capacity building of NGOs. It aims at providing the opportunity for NGOs to advance their objectives and influence the democratic transition in a positive way, and to pursue common agendas at regional level. The specific objectives are to empower NGOs to proactively use digital media, and to build cooperation among CSOs by creating a network based dialogue framework.
