Građanske Inicijative (Civic Initiatives) were founded in May 1996 by a group of prominent NGO activists that were involved in the anti-war movement and non-nationalist democratic opposition since 1990. Since then, Civic Initiatives respond to the need to create a civic base that sustains democratic values by supporting citizens’ activism and advocating for a better legal framework for civic participation.

Građanske Inicijative implement their activities through two programs: the program for strengthening civil society capacities and the program for public policies.
