\n\t\t

Supported by the European Union and implemented in partnership by the Civil Society Development Center (STGM) and the Third Sector Foundation of Turkey (T\u00dcSEV), the first phase of the Monitoring Freedom of Association Project was carried out between 2021 and 2024. The second implementation period of the project began in January 2025. Over the next three years, the project will focus on freedom of association, the right to participation, public\u2013civil society cooperation, and capacity-strengthening processes for civil society organizations (CSOs).<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

The Freedom of Association Project is an important step in strengthening the long-term and strategic cooperation between the Civil Society Development Center (STGM) and the Third Sector Foundation of Turkey ( TUSEV ). Although this cooperation is based on joint projects and activities related to the fundamental issues of civil society in Turkey, it also has a remarkable background in the framework of projects funded by the European Union.<\/h3>\n

One of the first steps in this cooperation is the Project to Strengthen Civil Society Development and Civil Society-Public Sector Cooperation in Turkey, which was funded under the 2011 programming. Following the success of the project, within the framework of the Civil Society Support Programme -of which the Presidency of the European Union is the beneficiary-, in the 2014 programming of the period IPA II the project for strengthening the development of civil society and cooperation between civil society and the public sector II was included.<\/span><\/p>\n

The monitoring of freedom of association, the strengthening of cooperation between the public sector and civil society, and the improvement of legislation carried out by TUSEV and STGM in both projects have been largely consolidated and have come to the fore, laying the foundation for the project on Monitoring Freedom of Association.<\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>
