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