European Union Anti-Corruption Initiative (EUACI) expands its small grants programme to include more of Ukraine’s “Integrity Cities” and announces Small Grants Contests for NGOs from Zhytomyr, Nikopol, Chervonohrad, and related oblasts.
The contests are aimed at supporting projects designed for monitoring activities of local governments, improving their transparency and accountability, as well as engaging youth in searching for innovative means for preventing and fighting corruption.
The winners will be able to receive up to €7,500 for implementing projects in the field of countering corruption, anti-corruption education and improving transparency of local governments in Zhytomyr, Nikopol, and Chervonohrad.
Acceptance of proposals from NGOs for projects implementation in Zhytomyr, Nikopol and Chervonohrad is open from 1 April till 29 April 2019. Detailed reviews of requirements for proposals are available by the following links:

Small Grants Contests are part of the “Integrity Cities” project implemented by EUACI in cooperation with local authorities in five Ukrainian cities — Zhytomyr, Mariupol, Nikopol, Chervonohrad, and Chernivtsi.
The project aims to increase the transparency of local authorities and government-led organizations by introducing innovative means to control their work and broader engagement of local communities in the decision-making process.
The initiatives within the project include establishing an Open Budget system for cities and local schools, launching of online reception and a number of others.
