What is the research about?

The third edition of Mapping of the Donors Active in the Western Balkans provides a comprehensive resource for international donors and domestic stakeholders engaged in funding civil society across Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia.

What is new?

In a time marked by crises in political and economic spheres, tense international relations and shrinking spaces for civil society, grantmaking priorities are shifting. 

Through surveying, interviews, and desk research, we have analyzed the priorities and funding practices of donors contributing to the civil society in the Western Balkans, including:

  • Bilateral donors
  • Multilateral donors
  • Foreign private donors
  • Corporate donors

Donor Strategies in a Time of Paradigm Shift presents answers to two key questions:

How are the priorities of donors changing and what causes do donors now support?
