| Description | The Action will promote an enabling environment for civic engagement by strengthening capacities of civil society and media for their active participation in Kosovo's reforms. Through broadening and deepening the basis for civic engagement, these reforms can be better understood and supported by society as a whole. Ongoing efforts strengthening capacities for policy dialogue and cooperation between government and civil society will be expanded to the grassroots to involve also municipalities and local authorities. A more participatory democracy in Kosovo will be achieved by strengthening strategic and operational capacities of grassroots organisations and media to play their role as watch dogs for enhancing accountability in the political process. A particular focus is given to representative organisations promoting empowerment and inclusion of specific vulnerable or disadvantaged groups with gender equality and environmental protection as cross-cutting priority themes. *This designation is without prejudice to positions on status, and is in line with UNSCR 1244/1999 and the IСJ Opinion on the Kosovo Declaration of Independence |
