Orientation meeting with signing Grant Agreements
was held in Shymkent on March 31, 2016. PA
"Bereke" has signed Grant Agreements with nine
grantee CSOs. The heads and accountants of nine
Level-2 CSOs from the Southern region participated
in the meeting. There were only nine organizations
because one of the Level-2 CSOs – WPA "Ana
Zhuregi", which had got an approval for OD grant, sent an official letter to Bereke stating that the
General meeting of CSO founders made a decision to eliminate their CSO due to health and family
issues. Bereke staff had a phone and personal conversations with the Head of organization Elmira
Temirbayeva but she said that their decision was final. Bereke informed AOR about the situation
and a decision has been made to substitute the WPA "Ana Zhuregi" by the other CSO of the Level-
1 from the reserve list – Public Association "Women's Club "Veronica" from Baizak rayon of
Zhambyl oblast.
Below is the list of Level-2 CSOs that received organizational development grants with brief
