Western Balkans
Advancing a peaceful, democratic, and European Western Balkans
Program Guidelines
The countries of the Western Balkans are working to build truly peaceful and democratic societies where institutions of governance are transparent, accountable, and responsive, and citizens are engaged, empowered, and assertive—realizing the vision of a just, sustainable, and peaceful Western Balkans. The Fund supports efforts of civil society groups, governmental institutions, and other partners to work toward strengthening democratic practice, advancing reconciliation and durable peace, enabling sustainable development, and promoting a European future for the region.
