Subject: NGOs in Kosovo
The Kosovar Civil Society Foundation, a grant-giving foundation in
Pristina funded by the EU and with an independent Kosovar board (and
two international observers), provides services, information,
training and project grants to the nearly 400 local NGOs now
operating in Kosovo. Since starting activity in November 1999, the
KCSF has published the first directory of Kosovar NGOs, has already
awarded 50 project grants to local NGOs and is soon to publish
(together with the OSCE mission in Kosovo) the first manual of Kosovo
donors. The KCSF collaborates closely with the OSCE Mission in
Kosovo, whose Democratization Department is also assisting local NGOs
through their network of NGO resource centers.
The Kosovar Civil Society Foundation welcomes contact with potential
international NGOs/Donors desiring further information on the Kosovo
NGO sector, which in December 2000 held its first NGO Forum. The KCSF
website will be operating by 15 january at www.kcsfoundation.org. For
further inquiries feel free to contact the KCSF executive director,
Lulzim Peci, at LULPECI@yahoo.com
