Western Balkans
SEED - Support of Educational and Employment Development
Supporting training and employment measures for women and young people in Kosovo and Serbia
The COVID-19 crisis has significantly slowed down the economic upswing that the countries of the Western Balkans have experienced in recent years, and there are also many setbacks in terms of democratic development. Women and young people are particularly affected by unemployment and poverty, especially in rural areas.
To support the population at risk of poverty, Volkshilfe launched the SEED project (Support of Educational and Employment Development) in 2014. In cooperation with local organizations, young people and women are supported in entering the labor market and actors from the fields of administration, education, business and civil society are assisted in establishing Local Partnerships for Employment in order to develop and implement employment measures.
Due to its very good results, the project was extended for the second time and entered its third phase in January 2020.
The framework for the current SEED Step III program is the well-established partnership between Volkshilfe and the local partner organizations, as well as the eight participating municipalities - Peja, Gjakova and Prizren in Kosovo and Šabac, Apatin, Kula, Surdulica and Vladicin Han in Serbia.
