1. OBJECTIVE
The main objective of this subtask was to strengthen
NGOs in relation to the accession requirements and benefits to the environment.
This was attained by the following activities: EU
Accession Grants
The main objective was to support and encourage the activities of NGOs
on EU accession issues through supplying targeted funds. Funds were available
at the national level and supported those groups that had already been
active on the accession issue to do more — especially with other
stakeholders.
For more information, please see the EU
Accession NGO Grants page.
Information Services
The main task was to develop information products and databases that would
provide an invaluable source of information to environmental stakeholders
in accession countries. The information was made more accessible to a
wide range of users, and support was given through environmental and EU
accession information in order to help stakeholders solve environmental
problems and participate in environmental and EU accession-related issues.
The following databases were updated with REAP support :
DG ENV - NGO Dialogue
The objective was to strengthen NGO capacities in view of accession requirements
and benefits to the environment, thereby enabling NGOs to play a long-term
active role in improving capacities in implementing problematic EU directives. NGOs
were also given a chance to actively cooperate with local authorities
and central governments in the EU accession process and its potential
impact on the country's environment. A series of seminars matched NGO
interests with problematic directives.

countries.
