The project “Sustainable agriculture for sustainable Balkans: Strengthening advocacy capacities of CSOs and developing policies in the Western Balkans” is aimed to strengthen advocacy capacities of CSOs using research, training and networking.
Partners reviewed the activities funded through the sub-granting and grant and training scheme, discussed about new joint initiatives with the grantees, and set the plan for the Regional Policy Framework and the Regional Working Platform made of CSOs, public authorities and scientists, which will develop regional policy in the area of sustainable agriculture, biodiversity conservation and animal welfare at the territory of Western Balkans.
