Consultant(s): International and Local Experts for the Mid-Term Evaluation of the EREA Programme
Caritas Switzerland is an independent Swiss NGO that operates within Switzerland and in over 20 countries worldwide, including Kosovo. Its mission is to prevent, combat, and eradicate poverty sustainably. To fulfill this mission, Caritas Switzerland promotes equity by supporting inclusive communities that offer opportunities to everyone, irrespective of their ethnic background, group affiliation, or gender. Since 1999, Caritas has been active in Kosovo, focusing on social inclusion, rural development, and rehabilitation. Guided by its 2021-2025 Strategy, the organization prioritizes income, climate change, and migration. In Kosovo, Caritas Switzerland is implementing a notable agricultural project, funded by the Austrian Development Cooperation.
The EREA programme, aims to enhance the socio-economic development of the country by supporting farmers and the agricultural sector in generating income and creating new employment opportunities.
