“Countries in the Central Eastern Europe, Caucasus, and Central and North Asia (CEECCNA) regions are at once unique — steeped in their own histories, cultures, and Indigenous identities — and emblematic of global trends. We can locate the epicenter of “foreign agents” laws, modeled in Russia and promulgated through the regions and now the world. We can trace the shadow wars of Russian imperialism, such as in Belarus, and active conflicts, such as in Ukraine, that entangle global powers and have echoes around the globe. Finally, we can chart the ebb and flow of philanthropic attention, with significant retrenchment after the fall of the Soviet Union, interrupted by focused giving, such as in the immediate aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
This first-of-a-kind research aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of funding for intersectional organizing across the CEECCNA regions.
Growing Against All Odds: Mapping funding for intersectional organizing in the CEECCNA regions is the first-ever comprehensive analysis of funding for intersectional organizing across the diverse regions of Central Eastern Europe, Caucasus, and Central and North Asia (CEECCNA). The study is driven by the need for evidence-based advocacy to secure more strategic and substantial funding for intersectional organizers and movements, whose efforts are critical yet often overlooked and underfunded.”
