On behalf of the European Commission’s DG NEAR (the Directorate-General for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Negotiations) the EU TACSO (Technical Assistance for Civil Society Organisations) 3 project has published the link to the annual Civil Society Survey for the Western Balkans and Turkey. The survey is part of the assessment against the revised DG NEAR Guidelines for EU Support to Civil Society 2021-2027.

The survey is open to all civil society organisations, both formal and informal. It is the largest survey of its kind, and will provide comprehensive data for assessing the state of the enabling environment for civil society, understanding the extent of cooperation between governments and civil society, understanding the situation facing civil society organisations, and planning support for civil society in the region.

The survey will close on 11 October.
