In the light of the recent challenges that civil society organizations in the wider Black Sea region experience following the restrictions to contain the COVID-19 virus, the Black Sea Trust for Regional Cooperation (BST) has launched a new call for proposals.
The purpose of the call is to mobilize civic initiatives in the wider Black Sea region meant to help limit the coronavirus crisis and counter its negative impact on society, good governance, democracy, rule of law, and access to free media. Projects that fall under one or several of the following thematic areas will be especially appreciated:
1. Rapid assistance for vulnerable groups to prevent further spread of the virus.
2. Good governance and accountability of state actors.
3. Countering fake news, especially those related to the coronavirus.
4. Adjusting to new conditions.
Organizations currently running a BST award should check, ahead of applying, with their Program Officer to establish eligibility of their proposal.
We invite you to learn more about the priority areas of each thematic area on the GMF website: http://www.gmfus.org/coronavirus-fast-response-fund.
We also encourage you to share this call with fellow civil society colleagues and on your social media by sharing our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/BlackSeaTrust/photos/pb.245593318788607.-2207520000../3292127560801819
Proposals will be received on an ongoing basis and must be sent to [email protected].
