| East-East: Partnership Beyond Borders |
East-East: Partnership Beyond Borders is a joint financing program of the Open Society Institute (OSI) and the Open Society Foundations - an independent network of foundations from Central, Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Block countries together with Mongolia and Turkey. The program was initiated by OSI and is being implemented by the local Foundation from the given country, or in case such a foundation doesn't exist, by a local strategic partner. The East-East: Partnership Beyond Borders offers financial and logistical support to people and organizations in order to strengthen the collaboration between them and trans-borders partnerships, towards promoting the values of open societies. The Program supplies the transparency, dialogue as well as the creation of a neutral space for presenting and debating opinions. The project's main objective is to facilitate the exchange of values, ideas, development models and good relations between peoples and organizations from the participating countries.
East-East encourages initiatives that contribute to a better communication between persons and organizations working at the local level and thus leading in the long run to positive social changes. The program gives priority to long term initiatives with clearly defined objectives that have a real potential to produce changes and to respond to concrete problems of the implicated communities and societies. Further details concerning the program in general are available on OSI dedicated webpage from their site.
The Program is on-going and accepts applications all through the year. For additional details (including application form) please read the information for grant seekers.
