CCP Synergy promotes tandem cooperation between civil society organisations from Germany and one of the 45 CCP partner countries which would like to carry out a joint initiative and network sustainably. Brief stays by employees from the cooperating organisations are promoted as are purely online collaborations as well as hybrid forms of collaboration. The purpose of such a collaboration could be, for example, the planning and implementation of joint events, fact-finding missions, research or artistic undertakings as well as the preparation of different kinds of publications. Thus, this programme encourages an exchange between civil society actors across national borders.
