The project "Local mechanisms for the integration of marginalized groups" is a project of the Ecumenical Humanitarian Organization implemented within the project "Local Initiatives for Inclusion of Marginalized Groups", funded by HfO (Hoffnung fur Osteuropa) and DW (Diakonie Wurtemberg) from Germany.
The project aims to support local initiatives that contribute to positive social change and strengthening civic initiatives in the Republic of Serbia. This goal is achieved by strengthening the capacity of organizations through training and mentoring and by providing small grants (grants) for small projects.
In the next period, the implementation of six local initiatives on the territory of the Republic of Serbia is expected.
