ECE Brussels supports communication on EU Reform and Growth Facility

 

The European Centre of Excellence (ECE Brussels) continues to strengthen its partnerships aimed at supporting EU integration and democratic reforms across the Western Balkans.

In May 2025, ECE Brussels entered into a cooperation agreement with the European Policy Institute (EPI), a respected member of the Think for Europe Network (TEN, www.thinkforeurope.org), which unites leading independent think tanks from the region dedicated to European integration and good governance.

Under this collaboration, ECE Brussels is providing strategic communication, visibility, and advocacy expertise to support EPI’s work on the Reform and Growth Facility for the Western Balkans. Specifically, ECE is contributing recommendations to enhance the communication plan for the Facility at the regional level, with the goal of improving transparency, promoting public trust, and increasing citizen engagement around EU-supported reforms.

This partnership reflects ECE Brussels’ mission to foster good governance, EU integration, and open communication in EU candidate countries. It also reinforces the Centre’s commitment to supporting civil society actors across the TEN network in promoting an inclusive and informed EU enlargement process.
