The Office for Cooperation with Civil Society, with the support of the project "Visibility and Communication of Public Administration Reform", published two short brochures intended to support the work and cooperation between local self-governmental units and civil society organizations.

The first brochure entitled "The Development of Local Communities through Cooperation" contains an overview of the ways and mechanisms for cooperation between local self-governments and civil society (cooperation in the decision-making process, budget support for CSO programs and projects, cooperation in providing services and partnerships in international projects), including reference to the legal framework and other relevant information and recommendations.

The second brochure, entitled "What Should You Know when Establishing an Association, Endowment or Foundation?", is intended for newly established CSOs and provides an overview of their basic rights and obligations under the applicable law, as well as the opportunities for cooperation with public authorities. In cooperation with the Business Registers Agency, the brochure will be shared with CSOs during the registration process.
