Overview

With the support of the European Union (EU), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) announces a public call for civil society organizations (CSOs) in Serbia to submit proposals for projects contributing to reconciliation, dialogues about the recent past and raising public awareness about the crimes from the 1990s. 

The call is open for CSOs registered in Serbia that deal with transitional justice, reconciliation, inter-ethnic and other social dialogue, protection of human rights, and memorialization. These may include victims' associations, non-governmental academic, research, or educational institutions, CSOs engaged in cultural development, non-governmental museums, and other non-governmental memorialization institutions, as well as non-governmental sports associations and clubs. 

The proposed projects should contribute to fact-based dialogue about the conflicts from the 1990s in the region and the recent past, reconciliation within society and between ethnic groups, especially through the engagement of youth, raising public awareness of war crimes and trials, educational programmes on transitional justice, research and memorialization, and other related activities.  The selected projects will receive support through grants of at least EUR 5,000 to a maximum of EUR 45,000.
