The overall goal of DSP is to support the development of a democratic society in Kosovo. Through years 2014 – 2018, except the support for projects implemented through Kosovo based organizations, DSP offered support also for the diaspora organizations.

The areas where DSP invested cover diaspora civic and political rights in Kosovo and transfers of “know-how” by Kosovo’s diaspora for social and economic development in Kosovo. In reaching these objectives, DSP employed project grants with the purpose of supporting the existing and new civic potential in Diaspora.

Applicants with their proposals addressed one of the priority intervention areas below:

• Diaspora media and civil society contribute to policy and decision-making processes that reflect diaspora civic and political rights in Kosovo.

• Initiatives that aim to create sustainable and institutional mechanisms for providing and transferring sectoral know-how between diaspora and Kosovo are supported
