Grow Civic is an in-kind support programme of the Civic Space Project that provides innovative, flexible, participatory, transparent and accessible direct support to rights-based actions and public benefit works carried out by activists, organised citizens and citizens’ initiatives, platforms, networks, and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Cyprus.
