CIPE in Romania and the Region
Strengthen Business Support Organizations in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia and Romania Program (2007-2008)
The program’s objective was strengthening Balkan business support organizations’ professional standards, organizational capacities, and advocacy techniques to prepare them for effective participation in policy making.
The goal of this project (with funding from the National Endowment for Democracy) was to create a network of Balkan women business associations able to foster economic cooperation and to promote public policies that will improve the status of women entrepreneurs and the business environment, both at local and regional level.
In 2004, at the request of prominent women associations from Romania and with funding from National Endowment for Democracy, CIPE started a project aiming to strengthen the Romanian women’s ability to participate more actively within the democratic society, and to build broader public understanding and support for their efforts.
Under this program, CIPE targeted three sectors- tourism, manufacturing and ICT, working with business associations and chambers of commerce towards institutional development and involvement in public policy advocacy.
