Community Development is used as an approach to strengthen the selected local communities so that they can better identify and prioritize their needs, advocate for their rights, partner with other authorities and manage their own resources.

Project Description:

As defined in the strategy “the overall objective of CD is the self-government and autonomy of local communities”. This is done by helping a community to develop the necessary structures and competence for just self-government. Ideally, at the end of the process communities reach the ability to manage their own resources in a sustainable manner autonomously and without exterior help. Due to the many political ambiguities surrounding the education system in the North, it was decided that FKL will focus on implementing IGA activities and strengthening local community councils through capacity building training packages.

Specific Objectives of CD North:

1. Improve the quality of education in the two selected communities;
2. Increase the prospect of families and individuals to generate cash and noncash income;
3. Increase the role of citizens and their effectiveness in implementing projects that improve the quality of life in the communities;

Region of Implementation:

1. Leposavic;
2. Zvecan;
