Engagement for Joint Action (EJA Kosovo),
a KCSF program, is inviting eligible applicants for its Organizational
Development Grants that aims to support NGOs who are well-established, have a
clear vision and systematically work to implement their strategy and NGOs who
are not yet at that level, but have clear direction of their development,
including programmatic goals and groups of citizens that they represent or
target with their work.
By providing long-term and tailored organizational development
support the targeted organizations will make use of specific funds dedicated to
advance their organization rather than specific projects. Specifically, these
grants aim to support the capacity building of the staff, development and
implementation of internal tools and systems, development of internal policies
and documents, use of software and equipment or specific methodologies and
approaches.
Engagement for Joint Action (EJA Kosovo) is a
KCSF program that supports civil society initiatives through grants and
capacity building with the overall aim to contribute to a democratic and
inclusive society in Kosovo, on its path towards integration into the European
Union.
