Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) are considered as one of the most important actors of Türkiye’s EU accession process. In this framework the civil society has been regarded as a separate priority area within the scope of Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance II to Türkiye covering the period in between 2014-2020. Approximately 190 million Euros will be allocated to civil society in order to enhance the capacity of CSOs and the Civil Society Dialogue.
