Final Evaluation Report: Kosovo Youth Participation

The Kosovo Youth Participation (KYP) project, funded by the European Union, aims to enhance the active participation of youth in Kosovo, particularly those from marginalized backgrounds in rural areas. The project focuses on three main objectives: empowering youth to participate in decision-making processes, enhancing employability through skills development, and fostering democratic dialogue while promoting gender equality. The final evaluation assessed the project’s relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability, highlighting successful outcomes such as increased youth engagement, improved employability, and strengthened local organizations. Despite some challenges, the project effectively mobilized youth and enhanced their self-perception as active citizens, laying a foundation for long-term sustainability.

The CARE West Africa: Women’s Collective Voice - Global Report FY2017-21 outlines the Women on the Move (WOM) initiative, which empowers women and girls through the mobilization of savings groups, known as solidarity groups, to assert their rights and enhance their socio-economic status. By fostering connections among these groups and building alliances with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), the initiative promotes gender equality and social justice. The report highlights the ambitious goal of positively impacting 8 million women and girls by increasing their participation in decision-making processes and advocating for policies that benefit them. Notable successes include partnerships with private sector actors, such as Mars Wrigley Confectionery, and the integration of the Village Savings & Loan model into national strategies across several West African countries. Additionally, the WOM initiative has strengthened women’s leadership during crises, such as COVID-19, and improved their access to formal financial institutions, showcasing the transformative power of collective action in achieving gender justice.
