Projects
RCOM's projects focus on developing entrepreneurship and democratic principles in the Balkans and Caucasus regions. RCOM's projects are financed by various entities, such as the World Bank Institute and the European Union.
RCOM develops customized technical assistance projects aimed at helping specific organizations in the areas of public policy advocacy and organization management.
In 2008, RCOM has become a vendor for World Bank. In this capacity, it completed two projects initiated by the World Bank Institute.
In 2010, RCOM became one of the five partners in a EU-funded project, which aims to support the development and promotion of a solid Romanian entrepreneurial culture that withstands the current economic crisis, as well as its aftermath.
The project’s goal was to enhance the institutional and technical capabilities of ICT business leaders and business membership organizations from Romania and Ukraine to identify reform priorities, implement customized responses for advocacy on the selected issues and engage in targeted policy dialogue with Government officials and other key stakeholders on policy issues.
The project aimed at strengthening the capacity of business leaders and sector business membership organizations (BMOs) to effectively advocate for a better business environment and good governance reforms in order to enhance conditions for improved competitiveness.
