An online training on grant rules and procedures brought together over 100 representatives from civil society organisations (CSOs) across Türkiye. Participants received comprehensive, practical guidance on preparing and submitting grant applications, gaining essential skills to develop robust project proposals and ensure full compliance with application requirements.

The training was particularly important, as it directly supports CSOs seeking to secure newly launched grants under the European Union & Council of Europe Joint Programme “Fostering Civil Society Participation and Capacity Building in Access to Justice in Türkiye.” Up to ten projects in each component: migration, environmental justice,   and women’s access to justice  will receive funding, focusing on expanding access to justice, remedies, legal information, counselling and other services.

Participants received step-by-step guidance on grant regulations and application procedures. Facilitated by programme staff, the training strengthened the ability of CSOs to apply for and manage grants effectively, for maximising high-quality initiatives with tangible impact.

By empowering CSOs to navigate grant processes confidently, the training underlined CSO’s vital role in promoting access to justice and supporting vulnerable persons in Türkiye.

Interested CSOs registered and operating in Türkiye can find detailed information on the open calls for grants in the following areas:

Migration | Environmental Justice | Women’s Access to Justice

The Joint Programme “Fostering Civil Society Participation and Capacity Building in Access to Justice in Türkiye” is co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the Council of Europe.
