Program coordinated and financed by the Open Society Institute.

The East East Program: Partnership Beyond Borders seeks to support initiatives which inform and empower the development and expansion of open society, specifically through collaborative work among civic society organizations in more than one country. The Program supports initiatives designed to share ideas, expertise, experiences and knowledge and to promote practical actions that result from information and knowledge networking beyond borders. It is implemented by the foundations of Open Society Institute (OSI) network in Central and Eastern Europe, Turkey, Central Asia, and Mongolia and with institutional partners in Slovenia and Russia.

The East East: Partnership Beyond Borders Program awards financial support to civil society actors and organizations which seek to engage beyond borders to:

• build and/or strengthen resources and expertise
• share best practices/lessons learned in social transformation
• collaborate on innovative solutions to common challenges
• create and/or strengthen international advocacy coalitions

The Program prioritizes long-term, in-depth initiatives with clear objectives to

• promote diversity and alternative perspectives and experiences;
• make information accessible and available to the public;
• empower marginalized and/or vulnerable sectors of society; and,
• encourage public engagement and empowerment
