Completed Projects

COMPLETED PROJECTS

The Center drafts and implements its projects in a large cooperation environment. A number of international organizations and government agencies trusted implementation of their projects to EDRC.

During the last years the Center has carried out about 70 projects with a number of partners. Cooperation with some donors and partners became continuous by extending or repeating projects over years. The latter speaks about efficiency of implemented projects, as well as about the Center being a reliable partner.

In the project portfolio of the Center, large share belongs to projects financed by EU, World Bank, USAID, ADB (for details about partners, click here).

Papers and publications prepared under the implemented Projects are mostly available in the Resources section of our website.
