The Eastern Europe Foundation, with the support of the European Union, announced a competition for Civic Tech digital tools “Act to Support” to support IDPs and communities. The Ministry of Digital Transformation reported this.

 

The competition aims to strengthen the capacity of civil society organizations to work effectively with IDPs and local authorities of host communities.

 

Based on the competition results, 10 winning organizations will be selected, and receive up to 20 thousand Euros to implement the project.

• increase the transparency of local authorities;
• promote the work of small and micro businesses in wartime;
