Helvetas' Work in Kosovo

Since 2001, Helvetas has been a strategic partner in Kosovo’s transformation, advancing good governance, inclusive economic growth, and green transition. Working closely with public institutions, the private sector, and civil society, Helvetas drives systemic change that strengthens institutions and expands opportunities for citizens.

Through initiatives that empower youth, support local democracy, and promote sustainable development, Helvetas builds resilient communities and fosters long-term social and economic impact. Guided by European standards and a people-centered approach, Helvetas bridges local action with global expertise to deliver lasting impact and foster an open, democratic society.

Trusted partnerships

Helvetas in Kosovo has built strong, trust-based partnerships with public and private institutions to strengthen local capacities, foster collaboration, and ensure sustainable, locally owned development results. Helvetas not only implements projects but also facilitates learning, innovation, and ownership supporting institutions and communities to take the lead and sustain progress beyond program cycles.
