The Estonian Civil Society Development Concept (EKAK in Estonian) is a document which describes the different roles of the public sector and the non profit sector which supplement each other, and the co-operation principles in developing and implementing public policies and building up the civic society in Estonia. This guarantees that civil society development is seen in a strategic way as opposed to just responding to the short-term demands.

This guarantees that civil society development is seen in a strategic way as opposed to just responding to the short-term demands.

• A joint committee was formed for the supervision of EKAK implementation, consisting of representatives of ministries and NGOs. The committee reports on its work to the government and to the public every year. Every second year a public discussion on the issue of civil society development takes place in the Parliament. Civil Society Development Plan 2011-2014 adopted by government in 10.02. 2011 to standardize the ministries’ approach to nurturing civil society and is renewed every other year.

• Sillamäe Society for Child Welfare is a member of the joint committee since 2012.
