Description
In the last several years, as is the case across the Western Balkans, Serbia has seen a gradual, but marked reduction of activity by foreign donors; most embassies and government development agencies have indicated that they will be gradually phasing out their support to Serbia as the country progresses towards European integration. Strategic thinking on the future of CSO funding in Serbia, particularly from domestic sources and in the context of EU integrations is needed. This study is one of eight country assessments of civil society capacities conducted as a preliminary activity within the EC-funded project Technical Assistance to Civil Society (TACSO) in Western Balkans and Turkey (Technical Assistance to the Civil Society Organisations 2 (TACSO 2) from the IPA Beneficiaries; EuropeAid/133642/C/SER/Multi), implemented by SIPU International, during the period August 2013 – July 2017. The aim of the study is to provide a comprehensive assessment of civil society in Serbia and the environment that it works in, including its strengths and weaknesses, and its impacts to date and the challenges it faces to its further development.
