The project „Coordinated efforts – towards new European standards in protection of women from gender-based violence", which is implemented by Autonomous Women's Center in cooperation with partner organizations from six countries in the region, was awarded for its contribution to the changes in the region, at the Framework Partnership Agreements (FPAs) Closing Conference, which was organized by the TACSO Office in Skopje on 10-11th November.

During the event the FPAs had an opportunity to disseminate the results of their action among various stakeholders and the press, discuss about issues concerning general development of the civil society in WB and Turkey, generate some concrete self-reflective recommendations for further improvements concerning CSOs and CSO networks, as well as to peer up with colleagues from other regional networks.

The FPAs fair provided the space for an interactive game that was meant to stimulate participants to collect from the FPAs and share with the others as many inspiring stories and lessons learnt as possible, as well as to select the FPA that managed to build the most convincing case about the impact it had in its area of work.

The project "Coordinated efforts" was assessed as the one contributing the most to change in the region. Specific objective of the project is increasing capacities of women's CSOs and networks for analyses, monitoring and advocacy in the field of protection of women from GBV, through long-term regional cooperation and learning from EU experience. The project is implemented within two phases: the first one during 2013/2014 and the second phase in the period 2015/2016.
