    Description
    Civil Initiatives Support Center (CISC) created in 2016 is the operator for all public and some private grants delivered to Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Kazakhstan. Its mission is to maintain relations of confidence and transparency between the state and CSOs and to support the development of civil society in Kazakhstan in terms of funding as well as capacity building. Through the expertise from Romania and Portugal, this action supported CISC to make more efficient, transparent and homogenous the assessment of initial grant applications and the activities of monitoring and evaluation applied when the grant projects are being implemented. New procedures were proposed, and CISC staff and independent assessors were trained.
