EaP CSF Annual Assembly To Meet In Brussels On 28-29 November 2016

24/10/2016

On 28-29 November Brussels will host the EaP CSF Annual Assembly for the first time in 7 years since the meeting that marked the beginning of the Forum’s work. The 8th Annual Assembly will be held under the title “Building a Common Secure and Democratic Future” and will bring together around 200 representatives of CSOs, the EU Institutions and EaP governments for vibrant discussions at over 15 sessions.

Commissioner Johannes Hahn, along with the Co-Chairs of the EaP CSF Steering Committee, Ulad Vialichka andKrzysztof Bobinski, will deliver opening addresses to give start to the discussions of this years’ EaP CSF Annual Assembly.

The opening ceremony will also feature the presentation of the EaP CSF Pavel Sheremet Award to the Crimean journalist Mykola Semena, in recognition for his courage to risk his safety and freedom in the cause of the media freedom in Crimea.

The event coincides with the International Women Human Rights Defender Day on 29 November. Every year this day is dedicated to honoring activism, advocacy and courageous acts of resistance.

This year’s Annual Assembly will also include high-level panels which, will focus on the role of the Eastern Neighbourhood in the EU policies, whether as a reliable partner or a source of mounting concerns, as well as on the status quo of the Eastern Partnership initiative prior the next EaP Summit. Throughout parallel panels the participants will debate on topics related to the EaP CSF priorities such as energy security, youth developmentand transparency of EU funding in the region.

During the event the EaP CSF members will present the projects and publications they have developed in the past year, including the outputs of 18 re-granting projects. The best project ideas implemented in 2016 will receive the EaP CSF awards.

The General Assembly, the highest decision-making body of the EaP CSF, will adopt resolutions on topics of major concern for the Forum, which include the conditions for civil society in the EaP Countries, as well as political situation in the region.

The 8th EaP CSF Annual Assembly will end with the election of the new EaP CSF Steering Committee 2016-2017, which will have a mandate from civil society of the EaP countries and EU member states to serve as the governing board of the Forum during a one-year term.
