Projects of 2011
During 2011, Syri i Vizioni has successfully developed the implementation of projects started in previous years. During the year, more than 15 people were engaged in various projects, while there were 17 long-term projects, not counting activities and short campaigns. This year has resulted in activities in which the organization has been further strengthened and profiled by carrying out activities in which the community has benefited in an area that covers many municipalities of Kosovo, in communities in rural areas whose problems no one had not heard them before.
An important part of the work this year has been the cooperation with partner organizations, old and new donors, as well as the continuous partnership with local institutions at the central and local level.
From the projects carried out this year, some major projects started earlier have been continued. With the projects funded by ISC-USAID from last year, they have continued to work on influencing the change of the Law on Forests and the Law on Waste. During the year, with support from NDI, work was also done on monitoring the implementation of the Law on the protection of nature and a participation in influential groups related to the Law on the Bjeshkeve i Nemuna National Park, in the debate on the amendment of the Constitution of Kosovo, etc. Through the activities of these projects, Syri i Vizioni has become an important actor in issues related to central legislation, especially in issues related to the region and the environment.
As a continuation of previous years, in partnership with the Olof Palme Center, during the year, action strategies were drawn up for the Serbian community in the Municipality of Rahovec and for the Roma, Egyptian and Ashkali communities in the municipalities of Rahovec and Deçan. In addition to the three-year action plans, 19 mini community projects have been supported within these projects, which have influenced the improvement of the community’s living conditions. Two projects in partnership with DRC have been continued in several municipalities of Kosovo related to return and reintegration, the program that has continued in its third year within the framework of the Propeace platform for conflict prevention, the project with FIQ for the supervision of law enforcement in Kosovo and the one with CRLS for Kosovo’s admission to the global movement against climate change. Within the framework of the MOBKOS program, Syri i Zonis has continued to be the secretariat of this program, also developing an awareness campaign for urban planning in Klina. Meanwhile, the stable partnership with Solidar Suisse (former SLA) has continued within the ongoing project and with a mini project for young people in the labor market.
During the year, additional commitments were made in several short-term projects that fulfilled partnerships and additional commitments such as the project with Care International for young peace leaders, with the British Embassy for the start of cooperation with youth NGOs in the region, the campaign to stop shooting which was realized together with Saferworld. In the framework of the partnership with the Municipality of Peja, Syri i Vizioni has carried out two small projects in addition to the project that the municipality has with ZNKE in Grykë i Rugova: the project on community work in the area of the walking path to the Canal and on the possibilities of putting bus circulation for the needs of truism in Rugovo.
