Evaluation of Sida’s support to Balkan Civil Society Development Network

The Balkan Civil Society Network (BCSDN) is a regional network of 14 civil society organisations based in the Balkans who work together to strengthen civil society and influence European and national policies towards more enabling environment for civil society development. Sida has supported BCSDN since 2019 in setting up a Hub and a Fund for regional initiatives. Jonas is the Team Leader for the evaluation, which involves an independent assessment of the project’s performance as a whole, and the functioning of the Fund. The evaluation is expected to provide recommendations to both Sida and BCSDN, as well as inform an internal Sida dialogue about future support to civil society and the promotion of civic space in the Western Balkan region.
