Serbia: Call for proposals: Serbia and Kosovo
The British Embassy in Serbia is issuing a call for proposals under its Conflict Prevention Programme 2014-2015.
Background and Context
Her Majesty’s Government, through its Conflict Prevention programme in the Western Balkans, seeks to support the governments and civil society in their efforts to tackle the legacies of the past and to make the necessary institutional and societal reforms to prevent the recurrence of conflict.
Areas of Intervention
Following a recent joint consultation exercise on the normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia, proposals to address the following areas are welcome:
-
Further development of public discourse on the 19 April agreement and normalization of relations in general – enabling greater understanding by citizens in both countries of the effects of normalization, and contributing to greater debate and inclusiveness in policy development and implementation.
-
Continuing development of sustainable cooperation and relationships between Kosovo and Serbian institutions, public officials, civil society, professional bodies and institutes and communities through the development of joint working, research and policy development activities based on shared common interests.
-
Proposals which develop and foster sustainable relationships between the following sectors in the Kosovo and Serbia are particularly welcome: business and economic (including chambers of commerce); human rights (including reconciliation and Dealing with the Past); the media (including strengthening accurate media reporting and dissemination of positive public outreach); youth; health; academia; culture; the law (including prosecutors, judges, bar associations); tourism; security cooperation.
Duration of Projects
Proposed project interventions should last for one year (ending 31March 2015) and would be expected to demonstrate clear evidence of impact at that point. Proposals that demonstrate the potential to extend beyond one year would also be accepted for consideration, however, there is no guarantee that funding would be available beyond March 2015.
