From 19 to 21 November, 250 civil society and institutional representatives from the EU and Eastern Partnership will meet in Vienna to discuss the reform booster role of civil society in the enlargement agenda.

The selection of the new delegates of the EaP CSF cycle has now finalised. Thank you to all who sumbitted their applications. You can consult the selected delegates, their country of origin and the Working Group they will participate in.

The Eastern Partnership Index 2023 (hereinafter the EaP Index or the Index) is a unique data driven civil society produced monitoring tool that charts developments in the six Eastern Partnership countries towards democracy, good governance and rule of law, policy convergence with the EU and sustainable development. 

Within the SHAPEDEM-EU project, EaP CSF brings the perspective of the civil society from the Eastern Neighbourhood, recalling the importance of listening to local voices in the attempt to analyse and rethink the policies and practices of EU democracy support in the region. Through its diverse membership and expertise, EaP CSF aims at bridging the gap between academic and institutional discourses on democracy and democracy support with concrete examples of activism, advocacy campaigns, and bottom-up initiatives that contribute to democracy and democratisation.
