Advanced Community Advocacy Program

By Advanced Community Advocacy Program we would like to encourage organizations to develop initiatives which would bring some important problem or a theme in the local community to the attention of the rest of the community. This program would involve citizens in active promotion of problem solving, while leading decision makers towards an adequate solution. As a special technique, ACAP offers a chance for citizens and organizations to have a direct influence on problem solving in their communities. The participation of citizens in decision making process is therefore multiplied, which is an important factor in the process of democratization of our society. BCIF provides education and financial support to local organizations in the amount up to 12.000 US dollars in dinars counter value.
