Impact on the Institutional Capacity of the Organization
Project implementation will directly strengthen the institutional capacity of CPLR across three dimensions. First, organizational sustainability: the strategic plan, donor landscape map, and donor brief will enable a shift from reactive fundraising (applying for any open calls) to strategic fundraising (targeted engagement with specific donors in priority areas). Second, communication capacity: systematizing the communication strategy will allow for systematic work and demonstration of organizational impact, which is a key condition for attracting new grants. Third, team retention: stable coverage of core operational expenses will help retain key experts whom the organization risks losing due to funding uncertainty, while also creating conditions for team expansion.
Impact on Target Groups
Key CPLR target groups—public authorities, international partners, and the general public—will experience the project’s impact through the preservation and enhancement of analytical products and services provided by the organization. Civil servants and local government officials will continue to receive analytical support in legislative activities. Embassies and international organizations will receive regular “Weekly Political Analysis” reviews and the opportunity to consult independent experts on the status of reforms. The general public will benefit from free access to high-quality, independent analysis via the organization’s website and social media. Regional CSOs will receive methodological support and a platform for coordination through the UPLAN network.
