Centrum pro komunitní práci Severní Morava

What Centrum pro komunitní práci Severní Morava does

Centrum pro komunitní práci Severní Morava (CpKP Severní Morava) is a Czech civic non-profit organization (občanské sdružení) operating as one of six regional offices within the broader Centrum pro komunitní práci network, which was established in 1996. The Severní Morava branch was re-established and gained independent operational status in 2011 under Director Mgr. Ivo Škrabal, with its main office in Ostrava-Mariánské Hory and a secondary office in Šumperk, serving the Olomouc and Moravian-Silesian regions. Its core work centers on participatory democracy, public participation in strategic planning, community planning of social services, local and sustainable development consulting, and active labor market policies targeted at rural and disadvantaged populations.

The organization delivers its mission through a portfolio of methodologies and project-based services rather than commercial products. Proprietary frameworks include the BEC (Business and Employment Co-operative) methodology for entrepreneurship and rural employment, Community-Led Local Development (CLLD) and LEADER approaches transferred internationally (including to Bosnia and Herzegovina), Community Social Innovation Centers (CSI), and Local Agenda 21 community planning frameworks. It also contributes to or operates e-learning infrastructure such as the E3-CUBE platform for sustainable development training, runs the cross-V4 "O lidech s lidmi" (Among People) award recognizing citizen participation, and implements targeted programs including PATHS/CESTY (youth career guidance), Mladí v práci (youth employment), NAJDI SI PRÁCI (job seekers), and INSPIRACE 50+ (women aged 50+ employment support).

Revenue is generated entirely through grant funding from EU Operational Programs (Operační program Zaměstnanost / OPZ and OPZ+), Interreg Czech-Polish cross-border programs, the European Social Fund, the International Visegrad Fund, and EEA Grants. The organization employs approximately 10 staff — comprising the director, a project expert, two project managers, two project workers, and two support staff — and serves three primary customer segments: municipalities and public administration clients, NGOs and local action groups (MAS), and disadvantaged job seekers in rural border regions. Services are project-commissioned through public administration and grant mechanisms rather than sold on a commercial pricing basis.
