Projects of 2013<\/h4>

During the year 2013, the organization continued with the projects started from previous years and expanded the activities by increasing the number of beneficiaries and the scope in different municipalities of Kosovo. Thousands of participants in the activities have benefited from the projects that the organization has carried out in the field, while the influence has been extended to the local and central authorities, to facilitate the access of citizens to the authorities and the solution of their problems, which the organization “Syri i Vizioni” has confirmed. as an important actor and partner in Kosovo and in the region. During the year, partnerships with organizations and donors with whom we have been working for years were maintained and their circle was increased with new projects.
Based on these projects, during 2013, around 15 people were engaged, who contributed to over ten long-term projects, as well as other engagements, activities and campaigns based on the needs of the community. The community in various localities in Kosovo has benefited from these projects, with a concentration in the western region of Kosovo, but also in other regions. Projects have been developed with community groups in different areas, including rural areas, groups that were previously ignored or unsupported, but also in organized groups, but that did not previously have the support that our organization has now offered them.
The projects started a year ago have continued, the projects on social dialogue in the dairy sector and support for professional education in adaptation to market needs have continued, with financial support from Solidar Suisse, as well as the project for young people and their interregional cooperation . Of course, the active citizenship programs supported by Olof Palme and the projects of protection and creation of conditions for children’s safety in schools with Save the Children have continued and expanded.
During 2013, the implementation of two new projects funded in partnership by the European Commission has also begun. The local project to support farmers’ organizations that is developed in partnership with IADK and the regional anti-corruption project where Syri i Vizioni is one of 15 NGOs from the Balkans.
In the environmental aspect, the organization has started a project in which it leads a group of about 10 non-governmental organizations in activities dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of the Drin River and increasing understanding of the value of the natural wealth for people and ecosystems and has supported the action for cleaning the municipality of Peja. The action of civil society and the authorities under the name “To clean Pej\u00eb” has also been coordinated. During the first six months, the organization has helped strengthen the newly opened visitor service center at the entrance to the tourist area of Rugova until the creation and independence of the non-governmental organization named “Western Gate”.<\/p>

A part of the activity that has been done during the year has been focused on supporting initiatives of citizens, informal groups and those in the process of establishment, which has been developed through the Office for open support and counseling within the organization. The young volunteers of the organization are involved in research and in the organization of activities and campaigns with different partners throughout Kosovo.
After 2013 was an election year in Kosovo, within the framework of Democracy in Action, Syri i Vizioni has monitored the campaign and the elections in six municipalities of Kosovo.
In terms of the internal development of the organization’s capacities during the year, it was completed in the professionalization of the framework with the participation in trainings and skills in which the organization’s staff and volunteer activists were engaged. The new three-year strategy has been drawn up and the organization’s strategy for media communication has been completed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
