GMF’s Engaging Central Europe initiative (ECE) was launched in 2021. ECE responds to the illiberal developments, democratic backsliding, and weakening of the rule of law across Central European countries. ECE supports democratic and civil society resilience and revival, media pluralism, electoral integrity, rule of law, civic education, citizen participation, and regional cooperation in the easternmost member states of the European Union and NATO. It provides flexible support to civil society organizations, initiatives, and individuals that make a vital contribution to protecting and enhancing democracy. ECE was designed as a multi-faceted, multi-year, and multi-donor democracy promotion program for the region. ECE is built on the understanding that democracy and security in Central Europe are closely intertwined: only a democratic Central Europe will be a secure Central Europe.
