THE MISSION of CI is the strengthening of civil society through education, promoting democracy and support for an active society.
THE STRATEGY of CI is that just by removing regional, national, ethnic, religious, gender and social barriers it is possible to build a stronger, more efficient and potentially sustainable civil sector and in that way contribute to the development of society in general.

Civic Initiatives (CI) were founded in May 1996 by a group of prominent NGO activists that were involved in the anti-war movement and non-nationalist democratic opposition since 1990. Since then, Civic Initiatives respond to the need to create a civic base that sustains democratic values by supporting citizens’ activism and advocating for a better legal framework for civic participation.
Civic Initiatives were founded by: Dubravka Velat, Miljenko Dereta, Zarko Korac, Vukasin Pavlovic, Rade Radovanovic, Nadezda Gace, Srdjan Bogosavljevic, Nada Marinkovic, Milan Podunavac, Mina Vidakovic, Nada Korac and Ivo Viskovic.
