## What the grant funds

An open competition for organizations to submit applications for a project to fight corruption in North Macedonia by maximizing whistleblower reporting and supporting implementation of its whistleblowers law. It will support whistleblowers’ role in revealing illicit practices with the aim of prompting formal investigations by the corresponding authorities.
