Description

The project's objective is to eliminate bad practices in granting funds to NGOs by local government, especially in the Legnica region. Under the project, in 2014 we plan to perform in 8 local government units a civil control of organization of competitions, selection and work of competition committees, and methods of evaluating offers. Then, in 2015, together with representatives of the local government units and local organizations, we will develop and implement transparent standards for granting funds to promote their effective use. For members of both sectors, trainings, workshops, animation, and counselling will be organized. The last stage will be evaluation of the implemented changes (2016). 96 local government and NGO workers will participate in the project. The project will be implemented in partnership with the Legnickie Association of Civic Initiatives, highly experienced in intersectoral cooperation.

Summary of project results

As the result of the project's termination the final outcomes were not achieved and the objective of the project wasn't reached. Still few preparation works as well as the expenses related to them were approved by the Operator for the total amount of EUR 3660. The organisation has developed some monitoring tools - sets of unified questionnaires for the team involved in analysing documentation of the local governments grant competitions. The tools were designed to compare the management of grant competitions as well as work of competition committees, and the methods of evaluation. Cooperation with representatives of 8 local government units has been initiated.
