Civic Initiatives, Citizens’ Association for Democracy and Civic Education has been founded in May 1996.
It was created by a group of prominent NGO activists that were involved in the anti-war movement and non-nationalist democratic opposition since 1990.
CI strategy is that only by breaking down regional, national, ethnic, religious, gender and social barriers it is possible to build a stronger, more effective, and potentially more sustainable NGO community and thus to contribute to the development of the society in general.
