Latvian Community Initiatives Foundation implements certain projects to promote development of community initiatives and co-operation between nongovernmental organizations, local governments and businesses.

 

Project “Designing and Implementing Models to Promote Private and Public Partnership with Involvement of NGO” started on 1 August 2008 and finished on 1 September 2009. It was funded by EEZ/ Norwegian Finance mechanism and supported by the State via Society Integration Foundation.  

The idea of the project was to emphasize the role of co-operation in dealing with local problems and promotion of private and public partnership. LCIF partners in the project were local municipalities in Valka and Sabile.
