#BOOSTProject: National Grants Results - 60 selected projects

The results of the BOOST Project national sub-granting scheme, implemented by ALDA with the support of Agence Française de Développement (AFD) are here!

Through this call, 60 national projects have been awarded grants to strengthen cooperation between CSOs and local stakeholders, ensuring that citizens play a more active role in shaping their communities. Special priority was given to organizations led by youth and women, as well as those operating in rural areas, reflecting the project’s commitment to inclusivity and balanced development.

Together, these projects represent a powerful step toward building resilient, inclusive, and forward-looking societies across the Western Balkans. Let’s write the next WB chapters together:
