BCSDN Website publishes 1st On-line Database on Civil Dialogue

For the first time, an on-line database on civil dialogue mechanisms and structures provides complete information on the state of civil dialogue in the Balkan countries in one place. The data include information on the legal framework, current situation, history and concrete mechanisms and structures that exist in each country. It includes also an inventory of all available documents (i.e. strategies, agreements, and bylaws) and contacts of coordination mechanisms. The database gathers data for 10 countries, both 7 EU pre- and accession countries and 3 Balkan EU Member States (Bulgaria, Romania and Slovenia). The data were gathered through a unified questionnaire by BCSDN members and its partners, primarily from secondary sources or research conducted for their own needs, which makes this database a collaboration of local CSOs, especially BCSDN members and its partners. Visit the database.
