SARAJEVO, December 12 (FENA) - The Center for the Promotion of Civil Society (CPCD) today in Sarajevo presented a three-year-long project, "Think about Nature!", funded by the Government of Sweden in the amount of three million KM with the aim of increasing the impact of civil society in environmental protection.

Project manager, Dajana Cvjetković, emphasized to the media that the project, through the networking of civil society organizations, institutions, experts, media and young people, wants to strengthen their activities at the local level in a synchronized manner.

“The project will be implemented in cooperation with a large number of civil society organizations, media, citizens and local authorities,” said Cvjetković, adding that they will try to respond to a number of environmental challenges in BiH together.

The project, Cvjetković added, is based on five components: advocacy, eco-hubs, eco-schools, youth and eco-journalists.

She stressed that today they presented to the NGOs the modalities of cooperation that are most often linked to grants, emphasizing that they will allocate a lot of funds to them, which will implement various advocacy initiatives on the ground.

“We will also work with eco-hubs and select ten organizations that will operate in ten cities in BiH, as well as with schools, 40 of them, in such a way that the project will be adapted to the BiH education system to be accessible to a large number of schools,” explains Cvvjetković.

Cvjetković emphasized that the additional importance of the project is contributing to the implementation of the requirements of the European Union and international agreements in the field of environment, climate and energy, which BiH has already ratified.

She emphasized that awareness of environment protection in the individual lives of all citizens is a key factor necessary for the achievement of long-term environmental goals.
