The call for Regional and Initiative Grants (16510-G03) was opened on April 7, 2025. The deadline for submitting Project Proposals is May 12, 2025, at 16:00.
These grants take a more operational approach, aiming to strategically strengthen collaboration and interaction between local government units, specialized environmental organizations, and other relevant stakeholders with CSOs. These grants are intended to fund actual initiatives connected to the Green Agenda while also ensuring interactions with all other GreenAL-supported programs and entities.
Through this call, GreenAL aims to:
- Raise awareness and empower communities to apply positive pressure through accountability in the protection of biodiversity and habitats, adaptation and mitigation of climate change effects, reduction of pollution levels, etc.
- Support CSOs in strengthening their capacities and initiating dialogue at the local and regional levels through fact-based monitoring and advocacy for better policies in the fields of climate change, pollution, and nature conservation.
- Empower CSOs and strengthen cooperation between them and other stakeholders to become partners to institutions in the design and implementation of reforms, with a primary focus on Chapter 27 – Environment and the green transition, from the local to the regional and potentially national levels.
The partnership of organizations applying for Regional Grants under this scheme must focus their proposed activities within a region that includes multiple municipalities or counties. Additionally, applicant CSOs must collaborate closely with local organizations and engage with stakeholders to amplify community voices and promote advocacy efforts. Applicants for these grants also have the opportunity to include investments aimed at improving environmental conditions.
