Core support to KCSF 2024-2028 Core support to KCSF 2024-2028 Sida's Core-support to KCSF, Kosovar Civil Society Foundation, will contribute to the organization's goal of a meaningful and sustainable engagement of civil society in socio-economic development processes that serve the public good. The vision with KCSF-s work is to see Kosovo as a prosperous, inclusive and democratic society with an advanced process of EU integration. The support will enable KCSF to work both with policies and research for input to for example the government, and with other non-governmental organizations in supporting them with their own operations in order to contribute and push for a democratic development. The support from Sweden also enables KCSF to forwarding funds through the Pool Funding Mechanism EJA (Engagement for joint action) to small and medium sized organization in the country. Sidas kärnstöd 2024-2028, till KCSF, Kosovar Civil Society Foundation, ska bidra till organisationens mål om ett meningsfullt och hållbart engagemang från civilsamhället i socioekonomiska utvecklingsprocesser som tjänar medborgarnas bästa. Visionen med KCSF:s arbete är att se Kosovo som ett välmående, inkluderande och demokratiskt samhälle med en avancerad process för EU-integration. Stödet ska göra det möjligt för KCSF att arbeta både med policys och forskning för input till exempelvis regeringen, och med andra icke-statliga organisationer för att stödja dem med sin egen verksamhet för att bidra och driva på en demokratisk utveckling. Stödet från Sverige gör det också möjligt för KCSF att vidarebefordra medel genom Pool Funding Mechanism EJA (Engagemang för gemensamma åtgärder) till små och medelstora organisationer i landet. The partner, KCSF, has presented a five level Theory of change, with the Vision on the top, followed by Strategic goal/mission, Medium Term objectives, intermediate objectives and then the KCSF functions. 

The vision of the work KCSF is "Kosovo is a prosperous, inclusive, and democratic society with an advanced process of EU integration". The vision is then linked to the strategic goal for KCSF to engage the civil society in a meaningful and sustainable way, in socio-economic development processes that serve the public good.

To reach the strategic goal KCSF will, as part of the medium term objectives, build capacity of civil society organizations - such as enhancing their knowledge, support them with diverse resources (also grants), connecting them to different actors and offering platforms and coordination. KCSF's work to improve the legal framework on a government level is also part of this medium term objective with the strive for civil society to be part of public processes and strengthening new laws and so forth.

The medium term objectives can only be reached if also new actors (new partners for KCSF) are engaged. Therefore, for the new core-phase, KCSF has added intermediate objectives to their theory of change, meaning outreach and cooperation with private sector and diaspora to make them more engaged in the civil society development in Kosovo. On this level KCSF will also reach out to more civil servants and politicians in order to enhance their knowledge about legal aspects and willingness to engage meaningful with civil society. 

All these levels will be reached through KCSF's hands-on work and functions; such as mobilizing and providing adequate financial resources, strengthening capacity to enable a participatory civil society engagement and continuing cooperating with already engaged partners, and new different actors, in the improvement and development of the system for civil society to act.

During the new phase of core-support - until 2028 - KCSF foresee a strengthened civil society, incorporating new actors within the private sector and with the diaspora.
