Call for civil society organisations (CSOs)

The Kosovo Local Government Institute (KLGI), within the Civic Engagement Activity (CEA) implemented by the Kosovar Civil Society Foundation (KCSF) in partnership with the USAID Mission in Kosovo, is carrying out a series of activities aimed at building the capacities of civil society organisations (CSOs) to monitor the minimum standards of public consultation at local level.

In this regard, KLGI invites all interested CSOs to apply to monitor the implementation of Administrative Instruction (MLGA) No. 06/2018 on Minimum Standards of Public Consultation in Municipalities. The monitoring will be carried out by 16 CSOs in at least 28 municipalities spread across 8 regions. For monitoring the municipalities of each region, two organisations will be selected, which will be mentored and compensated by KLGI.

Who can apply and what are the application criteria?

Eligible to apply are:

• All non-governmental organisations registered in Kosovo, or informal groups that can demonstrate their activity;
• Those with at least three years’ experience of community engagement;
• Those with basic experience in monitoring processes of public institutions.

Interested applicants are invited to send:

• The registration certificate issued by the relevant institution; for informal groups, proof confirming the group’s activity;

All these documents must be submitted electronically by e-mail to: info@klgi-ks.com. The application must also state the region you wish to monitor, according to the description below. Only shortlisted organisations will be notified.
