It is organized by the Estonian Development Cooperation, in cooperation with the Regional Office of Friedrich Naumann Foundation for East and Southeast Europe (“FNF ESEE”).  EWA is a state-of-the-art training programme, lasting half a year, with three sessions and online work with mentoring in between.
