The EU-funded project entitled Developing Capacity of CSOs and Civil Networks for Further Development of Freedom of Association and Right to Participation, which is shortly called as "Right to Participation Project", was initiated in June, 2018 by Civil Society Development Center (STGM), Istanbul Bilgi University Center for Civil Society Studies (STÇM), and Capacity Development Association (KAGED) which collectively undertake the implementation part of the project.

Within the context of Right to Participation Project, which aims to support participation of civil society organizations in political decision-making processes and to enhance freedom of association in practice, two different topics, namely "Freedom of Association" and "Right to Participation" are addressed.

Within the context of "Freedom of Association", STGM gets involved by organizing capacity building trainings for CSOs to provide effective use of right of association, and offering consultancy to support activities of CSOs addressing freedom of association and right to participation as well as supplying local CSOs with one-on-one organizational expertise by means of organizational coaching activities. 

On the other hand, STGM intends to conduct a research regarding the right to participation; prepare information notes and an information brochure; organize trainings on a range of topics including the right to participation, research-advocacy-participation and communication within the framework of training program on the right to participation; make reports on good international practices about more effective participation in decision-making processes upon study visits; organize local experience workshops to set the ground for exchange of experiences on participation by public institutions and CSOs in six provinces; and assemble a large-scale national exchange workshop in Ankara at the end of the project.
