In the framework of the project #USAID Transparent Effective and Accountable Municipalities, CiviKos has organized a focus group with partner and beneficiary civil society organizations from all regions of Kosovo. This focus group aims to evaluate the cycle of the applied learning workshops, the challenges of the local level CSOs in monitoring and evaluating public procurement contracts, developing and writing monitoring reports, and advocating and communicating the findings.
In addition to this, this focus group aims at getting inputs from the participants for the purpose of designing the methodology of the future training cycle and other activities to be implemented within this project. This workshop is used as a tool to assess the needs in the local level, the inputs will serve as a solid basis for the CiviKos team to craft the training curricula based on the needs identified in advance.
