This grant, the ‘Anti-Corruption Civic Organizations’ Unified Network (ACCOUNT)’, is a three-year, $1.05 million program designed to empower civil society in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Its primary purpose is to strengthen and streamline the voice of local NGOs to effectively press the BiH government for robust anti-corruption reforms, which are crucial for the country’s European integration process. The funding will be awarded through a Cooperative Agreement to a competitively selected local Bosnian non-governmental organization. This lead NGO will serve as a coordinator and secretariat, fostering collaboration among existing anti-corruption groups and promoting the development of larger, issue-specific NGO networks or consortia. The program will provide essential technical assistance and capacity-building support to enhance the networking capabilities of local NGOs.
