Due to the policy of SDC/SECO to focus on key domains of cooperation, it has often proven difficult to support funding requests for activities not covered by ongoing focal projects. In this view, the Small Actions Credit Line is a tool that enables the Cooperation Office to support quickly and non-bureaucratically valuable and important initiatives.
Maximum budget limit per project: EUR 12'000 Time period for projects: maximum 12 months
The Swiss Cooperation Office in Kosovo through the Small Actions Credit Line is targeting two different kinds of stakeholders:
- Grassroots civil society organizations and NGOs that implement projects and initiatives that contribute to social inclusion and improved livelihood of vulnerable and/or marginalized groups;
