Needs Assessment Report – Kosovo (2016)

This Needs Assessment Report (NAR) treats civil society in Kosovo from the perspective of a key element in building a democratic state and an important contributor to Kosovo’s aspirations of becoming a member of the European Union. Despite Kosovo is still at the initial stages of this process, Kosovar civil society seeks to reach the best European standards not only in its internal governance but also in its relations with public institutions. Through elaborating on relations between civil society and public institutions, its constituencies and the general public, NAR intends to reveal and analyze the challenges of the Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in advancing their capacities and their role in society and policymaking processes in the country, as well as in transparency and accountability of the institutions.
