Towards Improving Access to Greek Citizenship

After two years of continuous research, recording and substantial interventions in the process of granting citizenship in our country, we are publishing our final report. The text Towards Improving Access to Greek Citizenship attempts to include all the experience of monitoring the new naturalization system as a whole and synthesize the conclusions drawn from the individual actions of the project during the past two years.

The project Citizenship in practice responds for the first time to the need of evaluation towards the administrative process of citizenship acquisition in Greece, in order to contribute to equal access to this right. The project seeks to find and propose ways and solutions for the public administration to improve this process. At the same time, it aims to inform the public about the important issue of effective access to citizenship.

The Active citizens fund in Greece is supported through a € 13.5 m grant from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway as part of the EEA Grants 2014 – 2021. The programme aims to develop the sustainability and capacity of the civil society sector in Greece, and to strengthen its role in promoting and safeguarding democratic procedures, active citizenship and human rights.
