The European Affairs Fund of AP Vojvodina continues its successful cooperation with the civil society organizations in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. Another session in a series of training courses under the title “Prospects of Financing through EU Funds“ has been held at the request of the association “Zeleni podijum 021” (Green Podium 021) from Novi Sad when the members of the association could obtain detailed information about the procedures for project development that could be EU funded. The focus was on the preparation and analysis of project ideas in the area of environmental protection, citizens’ education in the importance of environmental protection, as well as project ideas aimed at solving the problems of illegal landfill sites in municipalities situated in the cross-border areas and the problems of waste management.

The attendees obtained information on the ongoing funds, programmes and application procedures in interactive workshops and lectures. By educating the participants, the goal of the training was to build the capacities of the civil sector, as future potential beneficiaries of EU funds, in the field of environmental protection in order to optimise the use of EU funds in AP Vojvodina.

The attendees underwent the training in the development of certain skills and knowledge necessary for independent project proposal development, in compliance with EU regulations. The knowledge gained should serve to establish quality partnerships and projects in order to promote and implement environmental protection principles in local communities.
