CKO, or Centrum komunitného organizovania, is a brand dedicated to promoting active citizen participation in public decision-making processes. Their mission is to help citizens formulate and advocate for their natural interests, while creating an environment for effective collaboration between citizens, local authorities, and the business sector to foster community development. CKO focuses on building a more active, open, democratic, and tolerant civil society in Slovakia.

This includes supporting citizen participation and creating spaces for collaboration, especially in marginalized Roma communities.
