About this grant
The project goal is to increase civic engagement in holding local government institutions accountable in Kosovo. To this end, FOL Movement will strengthen its capacity to organize and mobilize participation in decisionmaking processes, particularly at the municipal level. During the grant period, the grantee will establish and maintain its presence in four key municipalities, expand and broaden its membership and volunteer base, and launch an anticorruption resource center. During 2011-2013, the grantee focused on programming in Gjakova and Podujeva, expanded its general assembly membership, and gathered volunteers from across Kosovo. Established as an independent, nonprofit organization in 2009, FOL Movement has successfully engaged citizens in direct actions to hold government officials accountable for their decisions, highlight corruption, and promote transparency. The organization is based in Prishtina.
