Activities

European policy is a new branch of thematic activities for PROVIDUS that it started in mid 2006. PROVIDUS wishes to decrease competence deficit in the area of European Union policy in Latvia at large and within its separate branches. This deficit of competence results in the difficulties of the civic society to participate purposefully in building of European policy, to meaningfully evaluate the actions of the Latvian government on EU scale and to maintain accountability of public officials in front of the society. PROVIDUS will work with issues concerning the EU enlargement, gradually developing expertise also in other areas of European policy. PROVIDUS will also use the fact that the contents of PROVIDUS previous areas of activities include such policy aspects that are tackled on the EU level.
