PUBLIC CALL FOR CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS TO SUBMIT PROJECT PROPOSALS WITHIN THE REGIONAL PROGRAMME ON LOCAL DEMOCRACY IN THE WESTERN BALKANS 3 (ReLOaD3) IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF AERODROM

January 30, 2026

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is implementing the ReLOaD3 Programme financed by the European Union, through the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance – Civil Society Facility. 

The Regional Programme on Local Democracy in the Western Balkans 3 (ReLOaD3) is a continuation of the EU-UNDP partnership and the previously supported initiatives, ReLOaD1 and ReLOaD2, which were implemented between 2017 and 2024.

The ReLOaD3 program will run until January 2029 and aims to strengthen partnerships between local authorities and civil society by creating a more enabling environment for Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). This is achieved through support for transparent public funding, a stimulating legal framework, and increased civic participation in the creation, implementation, and monitoring of public policies.

The program includes five municipalities: Aerodrom, Berovo, Kavadarci, Centar, and Štip.

The Municipality of Aerodrom and the ReLOaD3 program invite all civil society organizations to submit project proposals that are consistent with the development goals of the Municipality of Aerodrom and cover the following priority areas:

1. Addressing climate change and environmental protection

2. Social inclusion and support for vulnerable groups

3. Youth and youth participation in the community

4. Creative arts and cultural development

The call is open from January 30, 2026, to February 27, 2026.
