Public Affairs Officer Jeff Adler joined representatives from the Fund for Active Citizenship on November 27 to announce the first round of recipients for the project “Action for a Stronger CSO Voice.” The U.S. Embassy in Podgorica awarded $175,000 to the Fund for Active Citizenship earlier this year to provide smaller grants supporting civil society organizations in Montenegro.
Congratulations to these recipients, including: CGO; Udruženje roditelja za djecu sa poteškoćama u razvoju “Zračak nade”; Regionalna razvojna agencija za Bjelasicu, Komove i Prokletije; Centar za ženska prava; Unija mladih preduzetnika; and Omladinski kulturni centar.
Under the terms of this cooperative agreement, the Fund for Active Citizenship will implement another sub-granting program with the goal of strengthening the role of civil society organizations in democratic processes in Montenegro.
