Institutional grant contributes to empowering civil society organisations (CSOs) to participate in environmental policy development and decision making actively, effectively and in a gender-sensitive manner; to play an active role in Serbia\u2019s EU accession process; and to monitor and evaluate environmental project implementation at local, regional and national level. Total of 11 consortia have received institutional grants in the frame of this programme.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Thanks to the activities of the first institutional grant, we have strengthened capacities of ORCA and partners, but also other organisations outside our network for advocacy and organisational development. Members of the network have participated in public debates and environmental impact assessments, conducted initiatives to form local action groups (LAGs), initiated dialogues between stakeholders, promoted active participation and engagement of citizens and civil sector.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The goal of the second institutional grant is to\u00a0<strong>continue increasing sustainability level of ORCA and partner organisations<\/strong>\u00a0and special attention will be put on strengthening base of supporters of ORCA\u2019s and partners work as well as\u00a0<strong>strengthening organisational capacities for communication with base of supporters through social media<\/strong>.
