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:

• women and minorities are empowered, enabling their active participation in promoting peace and security;
• minority-focused civil society organisations' (CSO) capacities are empowered through entrepreneurship, financial, and digital literacy;
• capacities of CSOs promoting media transparency and information integrity in Kosovo are strengthened.

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.
