About Civil Network

Civil Network

The CSOs need to act collectively at all levels, and through networking and coalition building to be more effective in civic participation and policy mechanisms at local, national and international levels after post-Paris Agreement conditions of international environmental politics in order to better encourage governments to adopt more ambitious environmental protection targets.

Online activism is also a growing trend all over the world so that target groups are required to improve their knowledge on online technologies to inform and mobilize the public and their members.

Civil-network is for debate and discussion over environmental issues, and to store the accumulated data and knowledge in the field of environmental sustainability. It is an online platform for disseminating knowledge about EU best practices in the field of environment and sustainable development, introducing EU environmental acquis, encouraging new partnerships and discussions between municipalities, private companies and civil society organisations.

Civil Society Dialogue

Civil Society Dialogue is a programme bringing together civil society organisations from Turkey and the EU around common topics, to exchange knowledge and experience, and to build a sustained conversation between the organisations.

The Programme is co-financed by the European Union and the Republic of Turkey under the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA). The Ministry for European Union Affairs is the responsible institution for the technical implementation of the programme, while the Central Finance and Contracts Unit is the contracting authority.

Since its launch in 2008, the Civil Society Dialogue Programme has supported over 600 dialogue partnerships through 350 projects in many different fields, witnessing hundreds of activities to bring EU and Turkish communities closer together and create a greater mutual understanding amongst them. To date through the first three phase, a total of 42.5 million euros has funded these activities.
