DE FACTO DEVELOPMENT: Selected organizations for participation in the program “Support to the growth of medium-sized CSOs”

15 CSOs applied on the Call for Participation in De Facto Development program (I Circle) – Support for the growth of medium-sized organizations and 6 (six) of them have been selected by the Steering Committee.

Among the 15 received applications, four were not evaluated because they did not meet the basic criteria. Two organizations did not send complete documentation (financial accounts), while two CSOs did not meet one of the budget requirements of the Call (the requirement for participation in the program was minimal annual budget of EUR 20,000).

From 11 organizations that were evaluated by the Steering Committee, 6 (six) CSOs (with highest ranking) that will participate in the Program are:

  • Udruženje roditelja djece sa teškoćama u razvoju „Zračak nade“ – Pljevlja
