On 30 March 2021, BCSDN held an online event to present the project results of 5 Macedonian CSO networks, which under the program “Sustainable Civil Society– State Financing of CSOs” enhanced their capacities, transparency, and accountability. The EU-funded program is implemented by MCIC in partnership with BCSDN and the CNVOS from Slovenia. The Executive Directors of MCIC and BCSDN opened the meeting, introducing MCIC’s and BCSDN’s engagement towards accountable and transparent organizations. Mr. Aleksandar Krzalovski from MCIC provided a brief overview of the state of CSOs in the country and the need for CSOs’ accountable, and transparent operations, while Ms. Biljana Spasovska from BCSDN reflected on the network’s accountability practices and engagement in global networks, which contributed to its accountable work. With the grant’s support, the Macedonian networks created or revised their strategic documents and internal management systems; established or upgraded the existing organizational structures; improved the participatory and democratic decision-making; developed a strategic approach for operations, etc. Read more here.
