Goal

The project aims to develop and provide a permanent service of advocacy assistance for nongovernmental organizations and groups of citizens.

Partners

The Association for Community Relations - ARC

The main activities

• Educating and training a group of five experts in advocacy;
• Tool development for planning an advocacy campaign;
• Setting up the permanent PAS advocacy assistance service and testing it in two pilot campaigns;
• Launch of PAS permanent advocacy service;
• Promoting the benefits of public participation and PAS service in order to attract potential beneficiaries;
• Fundraising campaign to support PAS service.

The need for the permanent advocacy service PAS appeared after the completion of the advocacy assistance projects implemented by CeRe in the last 5 years. To further meet the need of NGOs and citizen groups to influence public decisions and produce positive change in their communities CeRe decided to establish PAS - a permanent service for assistance in advocacy, for organizations and citizen groups who want to start an advocacy campaign for their causes but do not know exactly what they should do.

Those wishing to access PAS services or to learn more about it can do it here.

Financing:

The Engage project is partly financed by Trust for Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe - CEE Trust. For the support and maintenance of the permanent advocacy service PAS, CeRe plans to attract the support of the business sector.
