DRC har presenterat ett förslag till SIDA om stöd till minoritetssamhällen i Kosovo som gäller entreprenörskap och socio-ekonomiskt egenmakt under perioden 2018-2021. Förslaget ligger väl i linje med den multidimensionella fattigdomsanalysen som SIDA i Kosovo genomförde 2017. Projektet är utformat för att aktivt engagera de lokala och centrala myndigheterna i Kosovo och stödja dem i genomförandet av regeringens strategi med namnet Strategy for Communities and Return [1] samt Strategy for Inclusion of Roma and Ashkali Communities in the Kosovo Society 2017-2021. Projektet bidrar också till strategin Small and Medium Enterprise Development Strategy of Kosovo 2012-2016 - med en vision mot 2020, som kräver en "förbättrad ställning för kvinnliga entreprenörer, ungdomar, minoriteter, särskilda grupper och stöd till entreprenörer i missgynnade zoner" ( Strategiskt mål 7). I jämförelse med den tidigare samarbetsperioden, fokuserar detta förslag mer på egenmakt hos de mest marginaliserade och underrepresenterade grupperna, i synnerlighet RAE, och inte endast Roma Mahalla i Mitrovitca. Vidare är förslaget högst relevant och korresponderar med den nuvarande Result Strategy for Sweden's Reform Cooperation with Eastern Europe, Western Balkans and Turkey 2014–2020. Budgeten för projektet är 26 000 000 SEK. Denna föreslagna intervention återspeglar följande policymarkörer:
Jämställdhet 1 – Viktigt mål;
Demokrati och mänskliga rättigheter 1 - Viktigt mål;
Stöd till miljöarbetet 1 - Viktigt mål
Andra markörer är:
Konfliktförebyggande åtgärder, fred och säkerhet  2 - Huvudmål
Sysselsättning 1 - Viktigt mål

Danish Refugee Council has presented a proposal to Sida "Support for social entrepreneurship and socio-economic empowerment of minority communities in  Kosovo during the period 2018-2021".  The proposal corresponds well with Multi Dimensional Poverty Analysis that Sida in Kosovo conducted in 2017. The project is designed to actively engage Kosovo local and central authorities and support them in implementing the Kosovo Government policies for Communities and Return  as well as Strategy for Inclusion of Roma and Ashkali Communities in the Kosovo Society 2017-2021.  The project also contributes to the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Strategy of Kosovo 2012-2016 with a vision towards 2020, which calls for “Improving the position of female entrepreneurs, youngsters, minorities, specific group and support to entrepreneurs in disadvantaged zones” (Strategic goal 7). Compared to the previous cooperation phase, the proposal focuses more on the empowerment of the most marginalized and underrepresented groups, notably RAE communities not limited only to Roma Mahalla in Mitrovica. The proposal is highly relevant and  corresponds with  current Result Strategy for Sweden's Reform Cooperation with Eastern Europe, Western Balkans and Turkey 2014–2020.The budget for the project is 26 000 000 SEK. This proposed intervention reflects the following policy markers: Gender equality 1 - Significant objective; Democracy and Human Rights 1 - Significant objective; Aid to environment 1 - Significant objective 
Other markers are: Conflict prevention, peace and security 2 - Principal objective 
Employment 1 - Significant objective New/additional funds to address COVID-19

DRC proposal "Strengthening Community Resilience to Conflict" is motivated by their assessment on continuous inter-ethnic division and alienation as factors of potential inter-ethnic conflict in Kosovo.

To address this, DRC proposes a set of activities grouped under an additional component of Grant Agreement 10898 (Specific Objective and Activity Area 4), conceived as an 18-month pilot that will focus on creating or strengthening linkages based on in-depth understanding of the dynamics at the community level, which may vary from a location to the other. The pilot is conceived in line with several points listed under Expected Result 2 of the Results Strategy for Swedens Reform Cooperation with Eastern Europe, the Western Balkans and Turkey 20142020, which refers to achieving strengthened democracy, greater respect for human rights and a more fully developed state under the rule of law.
Namely, in direct reference to the above-mentioned Expected Result, the proposed activities will target increasing trust within and among the parties [] and contribute to reconciliation, so as to counter the emergence of new conflicts. 

They will aim to promote increased trust and reconciliation between parties, to strengthen the rights of the Roma [], ethnic and religious minorities, and to increase recognition and respect for such groups.
