Support to civil society in Kosovo

The overall objective of this project is to contribute to the development of a strong and dynamic civil society in Kosovo.

The specific objective of the intervention is to foster inclusive gender development and media excellence for advancing society in Kosovo.

The intervention is structured in three results:

• the first result of the intervention aims to empower women and minorities to contribute to the efforts of security and peace in Kosovo through support the ongoing efforts of the Jahjaga Foundation to establish the Jahjaga Center of Excellence for Women, Peace, and Security (JWPS);
• result 2 seeks to enhance the capacities of CSOs to foster the economic and social inclusion of minorities;
• result 3 aims to provide robust assistance aimed at fortifying the capabilities and long-term viability of selected CSOs promoting media transparency and Information integrity.

It is to be noted that particular attention will be given to support the inclusion of the minority groups under each of the three results.

The project modalities are direct management and Operational Partnership Agreements. Three implementation agreements are foreseen with Jahjaga Foundation for the JWPS and CSOs to be selected following an open call for proposals.
