Regional Project on IDP Associations
This regional IDP project addresses both the current and evolving needs of the displaced persons from Kosovo, UN administered territory under UN Security Council Resolution 1244. This is to be achieved through capacity building of IDP Associations and improvement of the coordination mechanisms involving all the respective stakeholders (NGOs, authorities, international community) in Montenegro but in Kosovo and Serbia, too.
Based on the capacity assessment of the selected IDPs Associations, the Associations will be provided with needed trainings and basic IT equipment for their capacities upgrading. Further, the Associations are to be supported in, as follows: a) coordination and information exchange both among local NGOs and with the respective Government and local authorities and the international community involved in IDP support and b) information dissemination within the IDP community. IDP Associations, though this project support, should primarily focus on prevention of further displacement and crisis, recovery assistance to already existing and potential new IDP caseload, improvement of living conditions of IDPs contributing to durable solutions which are sustainable return and (re)integration.
