THE PROGRAMME "I PARTICIPATE" The programme aims to strengthen the capacities of children's rights organisations to participate in the decision-making processes of Kosovo. These processes will further enhance the role that the civil society groups can play in establishing linkages between citizens and governmental structures, while assisting in the democratisation processes of the country. In order to achieve this, the following actions will take place: Capacity building for children's rights organisations and youth groups, in order to strengthen their ability to formulate policies and influence the reforms for the implementation of Convention on the Rights of the Child in Kosovo; Information and Awareness for the Government of Kosovo, children's rights organisations, youth groups and general public on the situation of children's rights, in order to press for improvement of public policies for children in the country; Lobby and Advocacy with/for children in Kosovo, through the organisation of an Open Public Meeting with the Parliament of Kosovo, on children's rights situation and the need to improve policies and reform on their behalf |
