Support for the implementation of government strategy for cooperation with civil society

A part the Civil Society Facility, this project is intended to help the Kosovar government strengthen participatory democracy and EU integration by empowering civil society organisations to participate in decision-making and stimulate a healthy legal, financial, and media environment, as well as to build an efficient public financial support system for CSOs, which have historically struggled to access funds in Kosovo. Partnering with CESO CI Internacional S.A., WYG helped build government capacities to design and implement a strategy for cooperation with civil society, including improved standards, monitoring, reporting, and legal frameworks. WYG’s staff formulated and implemented training programmes, as well as providing assistance to local government staff in developing a new public CSO database and a central government platform for public consultations, resulting in improved government capacities in providing public funding to civil society. Project value was 684.000 EUR
