Government Strategy for Cooperation with Civil Society 2019-2023
executive summary
Creating a more enabling legal, institutional and financial framework for the cooperation be-tween government and civil society is one of the essential indicators of maturity of modern democracies. Empowered and active civil society may contribute to shaping better legislation, deliver better quality public services, ensure more effective monitoring of implementation of key policy reforms and enhancing the citizen’s volunteering. The role of civil society in the European integration process has been generally acknowledged in a number of official Euro-pean Union documents and the Government of the Republic of Kosovo, where the partnership between government and civil society has become its priority.
The first Government strategy for Cooperation with Civil society (2013-2017) was adopt-ed in July 2013, as an important sign of the Government of Republic of Kosovo recognition of the civil society role in policy-making and good governance. This Strategy was designed to help improve the government’s cooperation with civil society in the context of four strategic objectives as follows:
• Ensuring participation of civil society in drafting policies and legislation;• Creating a system for civil society organizations (CSOs) in contracting public services; • Setting the financial system and defining the criteria for supporting civil society with pub-
lic funds; and • Promoting an integrated approach for the development of volunteering in the country
The assessment of the implementation of the first Strategy for the period 2013-2017 led by the Office of Good Governance in the Office of the Prime Minister (OGG-OPM)with the support of the EU-Technical Assistance project, confirmed a significant progress achieved in the area of public consultations in the policy-making process as well as public funding of CSO programs and projects while less progress has been achieved in the areas of volunteer development and improving standards of public service delivery by CSOs. This assessment has also em-phasized importance of these strategic objectives and has addressed challenges and lessons learned from this process. The assessment has also included the need for further strengthen-ing the OGG/OPM with human and financial resources.
By adopting the Government Strategy for Cooperation with Civil Society 2019-2023, the Gov-ernment of Republic of Kosovo shows its commitment to invest additional financial and hu-man resources with the intent to establish functional mechanisms for structured cooperation between government and CSOs. This will help in shaping and implementing public policies and creating more favourable environment for the development of civil society in Kosovo. To achieve this goal, four strategic objectives have been set for the 2019-2021 implementation period:
1. Increase civil society participation in policy-making;2. ncrease accountability and transparency in public funding for CSOs;3. Develop practices and procedures of contracting of CSOs for the provision of public
service and4. Increase volunteering in public benefit programs.
In addition to the State Budget funds, the implementation of these strategic objectives will benefit from the support of the EU Technical Assistance project, while it is also expected to mobilize additional funds through improved coordination of all donors in the area of civil society development, as well as CSOs whose mission is to develop civil society or specific areas addressed by relevant strategic objectives. The overall methodology for monitoring and reporting on the implementation of this Strategy has been adjusted by putting emphasis on defining more precise indicators for each of the strategic objectives and determining clear milestones set for each year of the Action plan.

introduction
This Strategy defines strategic objectives and policies of the Government of Republic of Ko-sovo intends to achieve in the next medium-term period in order to improve the enabling environment for development of civil society and create pre-conditions for a more effective co-operation of government bodies and CSOs in key reform processes in the country. An active and empowered civil society is considered to be an essential component of modern, pluralist democracies. Therefore, the development of cooperation between the government and civil society in shaping and implementing public policies is fundamental in development of inclu-sive citizen-oriented governance and respect of diversity in all aspects of society.
The EC strategy for ‘A credible enlargement perspective for and enhanced EU engagement with the Western Balkans’ from February 20181 emphasizes that an enabling legal, institu-tional and financial environment for civil society is crucial and that governments should ensure active participation of CSOs in reform and policy making processes, by establishing inclusive structured dialogue. The Guidelines for EU Support to Civil Society in Enlargement Countries, 2014-20202 adopted by the DG Enlargement of the European Commission stress the impor-tance of setting clear objectives, results and indicators for monitoring the progress of govern-ments in this field. These elements have become an important part of political criteria and is regularly reflected in annual reports on the progress of Kosovo in the EU integration process referring to the preamble to the SAA, point 4, civil society development and democratization are included as the first elements on which the parties (including the Republic of Kosovo) are committed to contributing to the political, economic and institutional stabilization of Kosovo and the region. It is also worth mentioning the Regulation for better regulation 2.0, the Public administration reform process and the EU’s Direct Budget Support to Public Administration Reform, pro-cesses that are directly related to this Strategy.
In order to respond to the growing need for a more strategic approach and clear road map to-wards achieving meaningful cooperation with civil society, the Government of Kosovo adopted in July 2013 the first Strategy and action plan for Government Cooperation with Civil Society 2013 – 2017. With the aim of ensuring effective monitoring of the implementation of the Strat-egy, the Government established a joint Council for implementing the strategy for coopera-tion between government and civil society, which was co-chaired by government and civil society representatives, with professional and administrative support from the Office of Good Governance in the Prime Minister’s Office (OGG-OPM). Commencing from March 2016, the implementation of the Strategy was supported by the EU Technical Assistance project, “Sup-port to the implementation of the Government Strategy for Cooperation with Civil Society 2013-2017”.
In the final year of the Strategy implementation, on 12 July 2017, the OPM General Secretary approved the decision on setting up the Working team for the development of the new Strat-egy and Action Plan for Government-CSO cooperation 2019-2023. The Team is composed of representative of relevant government bodies and CSOs, meanwhile the group was ex-panded with other civil society representatives through the call and open selection process. For the purpose of ensuring solid analytical basis for the development of the new Strategy and action plan, the evaluation of the implementation of the Strategy for 2013-2017 period was conducted accordingly. The evaluation has analysed the root-causes of main problems

Government Strategy for Cooperation with Civil Society 2019-2023
identified within each strategic objective and a list of recommendations to be considered when drafting the new Strategy and Action Plan.
The objectives of the Strategy for period 2019-2023 are determined based on consultations with civil society, considering the results of conducted evaluation of former strategy, as well as wider priorities set in the relevant European Union documents. In doing so, complemen-tarity and coherence was ensured with objectives and measures planned in other relevant government strategic documents, namely the Program of the Government of the Republic of Kosovo for 2017-2021, the National Development Strategy 2016-2021, Better Regulation Strategy 2017-2021 and Strategy for Improving Policy Planning and Coordination in Kosovo 2017-2021.
state of civil society and its needs
The first step in developing a framework for cooperation with civil society in Kosovo was the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Government and Civikos platform in 2007. In July 2013, the Government adopted its first Strategy for Cooperation with Civil Society for the period 2013-2017.
CSOs in the Republic of Kosovo operate and function as foundations or associations based on the Law on the Freedom of Association of NGOs (Law No. 04 / L-057) 20113.
The civil society involvement in the policy and decision-making process is set through the Regulation on Minimum Standards for Public Consultation (No.05/2016) entered into force in January 2017. The Regulation obliges the Government to start the public consultation pro-cess at early stages of drafting laws or policies and defines minimum standards in terms of consultation process, including deadlines, forms, methods, monitoring, reporting, etc. The implementation of the set standards is enabled through the Online Platform for public consul-tation4, which is managed by Office for Good Governance/Office of the Prime minister. The government institutions should publish all documents that are subject to public consultation, while interested public can directly contribute on the relevant documents published. The on-line platform is the main consultation method for the documents drafted by the Government 432 documents since launching the platform in February 2017 until December 31, 2018) Of-fice for Good Governance / Office of Prime Minister has drafted and published the first report on the public consultation process for 20175.
The allocation of funds for CSOs from the state budget is defined by the Regulation on the criteria, standards and procedures for public funding of NGOs (MF-04/2017) adopted in June 2017, which has established a funding system public for merit-based CSOs, including clearly defined rules and transparency both at central and local level. In 2017, the Office of Good Governance / Office of the Prime Minister published the first report on the public financing of the Republic of Kosovo for the period 2015-2016 and the second Report in 20176 .
Regarding public service delivery by CSOs, it is worth mentioning that the existing legisla-tion allows CSOs to provide services in various areas. CSOs are eligible to apply for service provision and the Law for Social and Family Services (02/L-17). CSOs are eligible to apply for licensing on specific social services, based on defined standards. The licenses are a prereq-

uisite to apply for providing respective services, and this applies to other service providers as well, except state service providers. In Kosovo, few CSOs are engaged in different services which are paid by state funds and most of those engaged are in the field of social services. The component of volunteering is currently covered through the Law on Empowerment and Youth Participation (Law No.03 / L-145) and Administrative Instructions of the Ministry of Cul-ture, Youth and Sports, which recently have been updated. This Law defines regulatory as-pects only for young people aged 15 to 24 years. The importance of volunteering is also given through the establishment of a working team that is working to draft of the concept document on volunteering, which will promote and create a supportive environment for the development of volunteering.
Methodology
The Government Strategy for cooperation with Civil Society 2019-2023 has been prepared by the working team set up by the OPM, composed of government and civil society representa-tives, with the expert support of the OGG and the EU Technical Assistance project “Support to the Implementation of the Government Strategy for Cooperation with Civil Society”. The working team for drafting the current Strategy has been established by the Decision of the OPM General Secretary on 12 July 2017, prior to the end of the former Strategy (2013-2017). This team has been very proactive in supplementing and validating the assessment of the former Strategy, determining the priority areas and defining the mission/vision of the Strategy for 2019-2023. The team is led by Office of Good Governance / The Prime Minister’s Office and co-chaired by Civikos Platform, consisting of representatives from line ministries and Civil Society Organizations
The main tool of analysis for drafting the new Strategy has been the “root cause analysis. The root cause analysis has been used for identifying the problems, challenges and obstacles during the implementation of the former Strategy. It has essentially defined what the problems were with regards to the cooperation between the government and civil society and lessons learned for the current Strategy. The activities undertaken for this analysis included national workshops with the Working team and roundtables with civil society. Once all the data on problems and root causes have been obtained and analysed, the findings were discussed and validated through activities organized by the OGG.
The working team has worked professionally in setting the basis of the document and the ob-jectives based on this analysis to further develop it until the finalization of the first draft, which was continued with the public consultation process.
The process of public consultation of the document along with all the obligations set forth by the Regulation on Minimum Standards for Public Consultations has been successfully devel-oped with several consultative sessions across the regions. In order to insure as wide-as-pos-sible input by CSOs and other stakeholders, consultation meetings were held in 5 regions – Mitrovica, Peja, Prishtina, Prizren and Gjilan7 in October and November 2018. In parallel, the draft Strategy and the Action Plan text were made available for consultation to all interested citizens on the On-line Platform for public consultations (konsultimet.rks-gov.net) starting from October 4 to November 98(34 days). After the end of the public consultation process, the WT was gathered, analysed and discussed all contributions given and concluded the final draft, which was forwarded for approval to the Government.7 In general, 54 representatives of CSOs, stakeholders and citizens participated in consultative meetings.8 The initial consultation deadline lasted from 1 to 9 November to allow the on-line consultation process to accompany the regional consultations meetings and provide space for additional comments to be provided by the organizations and stakeholders.

Problem background
The main problem that this strategic document aims to address specifically relate to issues or concerns, which have not been adequately addressed in the previous Strategy. Thus far, most of the progress with the earlier Strategy has been achieved in 2016 and 2017, reaching a progress rate of 73 percent9. as far as the implementation of activities is concerned, and if progress is to be measured on the basis of results and impact, the percentage would be smaller. The implementation of the Strategy (2013-2017) started to be delayed after it entered into force in 2013, where the planned activities during 2013-2014 were relocated for 2015. Due to the lack of financial and human resources, the Strategy has completed implementation at a slow pace but with the commitment of the Office of Good Governance / the Office of the Prime Minister and the support of a number of local organizations, international donors and the EU Technical Assistance Project that has managed to successfully implement most of the planned measures.
In the past four (4) years, the relations between civil society and government have improved to a certain extent. The Strategy (2013-2017) has been an instrumental policy tool in this as-pect by setting the base of cooperation between the government and civil society, with the aim of holding the government to account for creating a favourable environment for the develop-ment of the civil society sector in the country!10 As a result, civil society has increasingly be-come more involved in policymaking. The approval of the Regulation Nr. 05/2016 on Minimum Standards for Public Consultation Process (April 2016) and launching of the Online Platform for Public Consultation (January 2017) are best example of such cooperation. However, for a more successful implementation additional efforts must be made as foreseen in this Strategy.
In March 2017, Office for Good Governance/Office of the prime minister in cooperation with the Ministry of Finance put together and published the Report on the Public Financial Sup-port for NGOs from the Institutions of the Republic of Kosovo for Years 2015-2016. For many policy analysts and civil society activists this has been viewed as a major policy success since information on government funding of civil society has never been made public in the past. In addition, in June 2017, the MF has established a transparent and accountable sys-tem designed for funding CSOs by adopting the Regulation Nr. MF-04/2017 on the Criteria, Standards and Basic Procedures for Public Funding of NGOs. The Regulation MF-04/2017 has been well received amongst public institutions and CSOs, but for its application in practice greater efforts must be made with the existing Strategy as well as continuous capacity build-ing for Institutions and CSOs.
While for the first objective of the strategy, civil society involvement in policy-making has been the most successful, exceeding 90 per-cent of progress level, the remaining policy areas fall short in terms of progress. Creating a system of public funding for civil society anticipated in the third objective has reached 70 percent of the progress level. As far as the strategic ob-jective of establishing a system of contracting of public services to CSOs, the progress level has reached 50 percent, and for the strategic objective of promoting an integrated approach to volunteering, the progress level has reached 83 percent. However, It is worth pointing out that much remains to be done to establish and establish a “one-stop-shop for public service delivery” and to “develop volunteering”. However, this percentage is only quantitative meas-urements because if there were qualitative indicators, this percentage would be much smaller
The “root cause analysis” has helped identify the root causes for all the problems identified for
12
each priority area in the realm of government cooperation with civil society. In order to ensure that all problems and direct causes have been reported, the Assessment report has been closely consulted with all relevant stakeholders.
List of problems identified based on root causes:
1 Lack of adequate participation of CSOs in policy formulation and legislation . Lack of resources for coordination, monitoring, reporting, and support for the imple-
mentation of the Regulation on Minimum Standards for Public Consultation. . Lack of proactive communication in line Ministries and the capacity of officials to plan,
implement and report on minimum standards for public consultation.. Lack of awareness of civil society organizations (CSOs) for participation in public con-
sultations and policymaking in general. . Lack of CSOs capacity to contribute to the public consultation process.
2 The direct and indirect funding of CSOs is not yet operational . Lack of capacities of Ministries and Municipalities on programming, implementation,
monitoring & reporting of public funds for CSOs.
Lack of development of individual and corporate philanthropy. . The use of state property (local and national) by CSOs is not yet regulated, clarified
and transparent.. The economic activities of CSOs are limited.. Lack of co-financing system for CSOs for EU funds.
3 Underdeveloped and non-transparent practices for contracting public services by CSOs . Lack of awareness of Ministries and Municipalities about the importance of the legal
framework and models available for contracting CSOs regarding the provision of pub-lic services.
. Lack of needs assessment for the provision of public services by CSOs in different areas.
. Lack of national data on CSOs as public service providers in different fields.
. Lack of standards and procedures for the provision of public services by civil society organizations (CSOs).
4 Lack of volunteering in public benefit programs . Volunteer organizers face some administrative and legal obstacles in engaging and
retaining volunteers. . Lack of standards for and capacities of CSOs to recruit, engage and manage volun-
teers. . Lack of public/citizens’ awareness on the opportunities and values of volunteering.
The direct causes identified by the Root Cause Analysis have been more thoroughly addressed in the report “The Evaluation of the Implementation of the Government Strategy for Cooperation with Civil Society (2013-2017).” However, we must bear in mind the lack of official and reliable statistics and statistics for the civil society sector.

Government Strategy for Cooperation with Civil Society 2019-2023
strategic objectives
The strategic objectives are goals deemed most important to the current and future cooperation be-tween the Government and civil society. The following strategic objectives have been prioritized by the working team:
1. Increase civil society participation in policy-making;
2. Improvement of the regulatory and institutional framework for financing sustainability of pro-grammes and projects of CSOs in public interest;
3. Develop practices and procedures of contracting of CSOs for the provision of public services; and
4. Increase volunteering in public benefit program
These objectives are complementary to priority objectives set in the Guidelines for EU support to Civil Society in Enlargement Countries, 2014-2020. They are all addressing very complex and interrelated policy reforms which can jointly contribute to creating more favourable environment for civil society in Kosovo.
Objective 1. increase civil society participation in policymaking
The Government has made progress in developing standards and practices for increasing the par-ticipation of civil society in drafting policies and legislation. The Regulation on Minimal Standards for Public Consultation Process (No. 05/2016) has been adopted in April 2016. In addition, the Central Online Platform for Public Consultation has been designed and launched in February 2017, in which civil society stakeholders and the public at large are eligible to register, if interested in giving their con-tribution in drafting of different policies or legislation11. The same year, a training program12 has been prepared and delivered to help civil servants apply the Regulation and Online Platform. The Office for Good Governance and the Kosovo Civil Society Foundation (KCSF) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in the organization of training on minimum Standards of Public Consul-tations on which about 100 civil society representatives were trained for these standards.
During the first year of implementation, more than two hundred public consultations have been launched via Online Platform. However, there is still work to encourage the public to be part of policy-making. To achieve greater impact in practice, increased capacity building efforts should be made among public institutions and civil society as well as improve participation in consultation with further methods beyond on-line consultations, such as participation to working groups, public meetings, work-shops etc. Moreover, consultation processes (on- and off-line) at local level where decisions directly affect daily life of citizens need to be improved through information and capacity-building on standards set in the Regulation.

Objective 2. Improvement of the regulatory and institutional framework for financing sustainability of programmes and projects of Csos in public interest
The government of Republic of Kosovo has established the practices, standards and criteria for disbursement of public funds to civil society. In March 2016, OGG-OPM, in cooperation with the MF, prepared and published for the first time the Report on the Public Financial Support for NGOs from the Institutions of the Republic of Kosovo for Years 2015-2016. Based on the data obtained from the Ministry of Finances, it turns out that the public financial support given to NGOs by public institutions, both central and local during 2015-2016 was 27,859,305.00 Euro. This amount given includes the financial support given to CSO as well as the sport clubs and federations and other entities registered as NGOs, too. In the absence of clear regula-tory framework, considerable amounts of financial support for NGOs were distributed through decisions and direct contracting without unified procedures. In June 2017, the Ministry of Fi-nance has adopted the Regulation, which sets the criteria, standards and basic procedures for public funding of NGOs, with the aim of “establishing a transparent and accountable system”13 of funding projects and programs of NGOs. However, increased capacity-building efforts must be made among public institutions and civil society for the application of the Regulation.
As far as indirect funding mechanisms and practices, not much progress has been made. The Government has not established a legal framework for the development of individual and corporate philanthropy nor for regulating economic activities of CSOs. This will require estab-lishing a comprehensive legal framework that would create a more favourable environment for CSOs, which are engaged in philanthropy (incl. also endowment building, harmonization of public benefit status in relevant legislation) and economic activities. In addition, the allocation of state property for the use by CSOs has not been as transparent and regulated in the past. The Government must take strategic actions to identify and reveal all the information on state property (local and national) being used and/or to be used by CSOs, which ultimately would require a policy rule or regulation to be adopted. Finally, the Government must establish a system for co-financing of EU funded projects of CSOs, which in the past has been inexistent.

Objective 3. Develop practices and procedures of contracting of Csos for the provi-sion of public services
The Government has not yet been able to develop best practices and procedures for contract-ing of CSOs for the provision of public services. The Assessment of challenges and opportu-nities of contracting CSOs to deliver public services in Kosovo prepared in 201714 identified, among others, the need for developing the national database of public/social service provid-ers which should facilitate the establishment of a comprehensive national referral mechanism that provides the necessary data for adequate planning of need-based services in each mu-nicipality and the standards for contracting of CSOs. Besides, the necessity of strengthening quality assurance mechanisms for contracted services, as well as improving the monitoring and evaluation capacities of ministries and municipalities has also been emphasized.
The Government should develop and adopt standards and procedures for the provision of public services by CSOs, including covering of licensing. In the meantime, it requires to in-crease the awareness among institutions about the importance of the legal framework and models that are available to contract CSOs in providing services.

3.3Ensure the systematic collection and availability of data on CSOs as service providers for Ministries and Municipalities
3.4 Improve the legislation that regulate standards and proce-dures for the provision of public services by CSOs
Objective 4. increase volunteering in programs of public interest
In order to provide solid analytical basis for formulating measures for supporting volunteering development, a study on volunteerism in Kosovo have been conducted. Several activities in a form of workshops and focus groups have been organized which have helped shape these studies.
The main findings indicate that administrative and legal barriers should be removed following which a policy should be adopted for the purpose of setting the standards and procedures of engaging and retaining volunteers. Accordingly, depending on the policy developments, there must be a system of monitoring and reporting for developing of volunteering in the country. In this context, the Prime Minister has taken a decision and a working team has been estab-lished for drafting of the concept document for volunteering.

Monitoring and evaluation of implementation of the strategy
The main mechanism that will coordinate the process of the implementation of the Govern-ment Strategy for Cooperation with Civil Society is the Council for Cooperation Government - civil society.
The mandate of the Council would not just be limited to the implementation of the govern-ment strategy but it will cover all aspects of cooperation between government and civil society including:
– Monitor the implementation of the Government Strategy for Cooperation with Civil Society 2019-2023
– Provide opinions, advice and recommendation on draft legal acts, strategic and other documents affecting the work and development of CSOs, with the aim of creating more enabling environment for civil society in Kosovo
– Provide opinion on the annual reports on distribution of public funds for supporting sustain-ability of CSOs programs and projects.
The main institution for managing and coordinating the work monitoring of the Council will be the Office of Good Governance /Office of the Prime Minister, which will serve also as a Council secretariat. . Also, the monitoring of the implementation of the Strategy for Coopera-tion Government-Civil Society will be done by the Office of the Prime Minister / Office of Good Governance with the support of the Council for Cooperation Government - civil society15.
The Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) will enable to maintain consistency and track of the set of results and indicators set by the European Commission (EC) in the DG Enlargement Guide-lines for EU support to civil society in enlargement countries, 2014-2020.
The responsibility for the coordination of monitoring and reporting of the strategy and the action plan lies with the OGG-OPM but the involvement of all institutions responsible for their respective activities is crucial for both implementation and monitoring and reporting. The Council is responsible for providing advice on the quality of monitoring, evaluating and report-ing on the Strategy based on qualitative indicators aiming to avoid eventual problems during the monitoring of the strategy. The Council – besides its M&E role – can also initiate and im-plement measures for a more successful application of the Strategy and policies in practice. The OGG’s role as the Secretariat of the Council is to provide professional and administrative support to preparing Council sessions, to proactively assess the objectives and activities of the Strategy.

Government Strategy for Cooperation with Civil Society 2019-2023
The selection of Council members shall be in an open, transparent and accountable man-ner. The criteria for selection shall equally include representativeness (i.e. candidates who have broad support among civil society, encouraging nomination of women, members of non-majority communities and underrepresented groups) and expertise (i.e. candidates who have knowledge, track-record and are recognized in a given (thematic) field) of selected members coming both from public institutions and civil society ranks. Each member shall also fulfil mini-mum criteria including minimum years of work and experience in given field and sector (public or civil society) etc. The above guidelines of criteria shall be further developed together with rules and procedure for the selection process to unfold in form of a separate decision.
The Council is convened and operates on the basis of the adopted rules of procedure in conjunction with this strategy. To assist the work of the council there are designated working teams for each strategic objective. The purpose of the EP creation is that they help the Coun-cil to be more effective in exercising its role and to balance its work with the work of the Sec-retariat of the CWT are composed of representatives of relevant line ministries and elected representatives from CSOs in the Council. In addition, other external representatives (CSOs or experts) may be invited at the initiative of the Council if they are considered to bring added value to the M & E process. Each member nominated in the EC will take part in Council meet-ings and other activities to ensure the full commitment of all stakeholders.
In addition, Office for Good Governance –Office of the Prime Minister will be responsible for policy coordination and cooperation with civil society. With the aim of achieving the favour-able environment for joint creation and management of the Government policy for civil society development. The Office for Good Governance –Office of the Prime Minister should report on the progress of the implementation of the Strategy and its Action Plan on annual basis. The annual progress report shall be completed by the end of the first quarter of the following year. The Monitoring and Reporting Matrix will be used to monitor and assess the progress of the implementation Strategy. This system will be comprised of “performance-based indicators” designed to measure outcomes and the level of impact the Strategy will have in practice. The logic how the indicators have been defined is illustrated in Appendix 4.
The Strategy will be accompanied with Action Plan 2019-2021, which will be updated on an-nual basis. Strategy will have a medium term and a final evaluation. Along with the report for 2019, the OGG/OPM will undertake a medium-term review process for the objectives and in-dicators. Medium term and final assessment of the Strategy will focus on the following dimen-sions: implementation of the Strategy and Action Plan as well as the relevance of potential interventions in order to achieve the intended results and objectives and updating baselines and targets where necessary based on available data made available for year 2019 as a start-ing point to measure progress of the Strategy. Moreover, since the data sources (or means of verification) for the outcome-based indicators in some cases are not envisaged through the outputs or individual activities of the Strategy, it is crucial that at latest after two years consid-ers this and if necessary, proposes development of additional measures to provide collection of such data, e.g. consultation process monitoring at municipal level, pubic funding for CSOs at municipal level, rate and type of volunteering. This could also potentially allow to directly link and measure the extent of the Strategy/AP indicators fulfilment against the EU CS Guidelines Kosovo specific targets to the extent this are relevant to the Strategy/AP ones. The evaluation and review process of the Strategy will be linked also with the review and assessments of the PAR Reform (Sector Budget Support indicators, namely the indicator 2 - public consultations).

Government Strategy for Cooperation with Civil Society 2019-2023
Appendix 3 institutional set-Up
In the figure presented below, the institutional set-up for the implementation of the Strategy is illustrat-ed. The two main institutions responsible for monitoring, evaluating and reporting on the implementa-tion of the Strategy are the Council and its Secretariat. The Council – besides monitoring, M&E – it can also initiate and implement measures for a more successful application of the Strategy and policies in practice channelled through its members and “Council Working Groups” designed for each strategic objective. The OGG’s role as the Secretariat is administrative, to proactively assess the objectives and activities of the Strategy and determine if the deliveries, outputs, and schedules planned have been fulfilled so that preventive actions can be taken to correct deficiencies. OGG / OPM also plays the roles of council’ secretariat and working teams.

Appendix 4 Defining Measurement Indicators
The “performance-based indicators” have been set in the Monitoring and Reporting Matrix. The main indicators are divided between output and outcomes. Outputs are measured based on activities organized and participation reached. They depict the level of effectiveness and inclusiveness achieved as part of internal and ongoing assessment. Outcomes are measured based on impact achieved as part of an external assessment which will be conducted in peri-odic bases. But as the following table indicates, outputs and outcomes will be attainable only with sufficient input guaranteed by the Government of Kosovo, in investing additional financial and human resources (budget and staff) and greater involvement of stakeholders, i.e. Council members coming from the public institutions and civil society sector.

Tax benefitsA tax benefit is an allowable (% or fixed amount) deduction or credit on a tax return intended to reduce tax burden of individual citizens or business, while typically supporting certain types of commercial or non-profit activity. A tax benefit allows some type of adjustment benefiting a taxpayer’s tax liability. In the context of philanthropy and in relation to tax incentives, this usually relates to a % of tax or amount for which the tax is deducted for individual or business when donating to a CSO or to specific activities being performed for non-profit.
volunteeringVolunteering is an altruistic activity where an individual or group provides services for no financial or social gain to benefit another individual, group or an organization. Volunteering may have positive benefits for the volunteer as well as for the person or community it serves. It is also intended to make contacts for possible employment. Many volunteers are specifically trained in the areas they work, such as medicine, education, or emergency rescue. Others serve on an ad-hoc basis, such as in response to a natural disaster or emergency need.
