Policy Paper: “Proposals on priorities of the EU-Belarus cooperation within the framework of the National Indicative Program and the role of civil society in its development” (May, 2010).

This document is about the priorities of the National Indicative Program for 2012-2013 for Belarus, as well as the approaches to the formation of such programs in the future. Admitting the important role of strategies of cooperation and financial help for our country, on the part of civil society, we are compelled to speak about their drawbacks and gaps, too. The introduction of new principles and approaches for the formation, implementation, and estimation of cooperation programs, from our point of view, will help to make this help more effective and productive.
