The project “Empowering Vulnerable Women through Social Mentoring” aims, among other objectives, to facilitate regional migration and labour mobility by equipping targeted groups, such as job seekers and vulnerable communities, with up-to-date information, counselling, and institutional support mechanisms for accessing cross-border employment opportunities. As part of the regional mobility component, the project has developed country-specific employment guides for Kosovo jobseekers seeking opportunities in Albania, North Macedonia, and Montenegro. In order to improve awareness of the targeted guidance, the project will disseminate information materials and organize up to 15 regional info sessions to share practical information and offer on-the-spot counselling to jobseekers, with a special focus on women and vulnerable groups.
Additionally, local civil society organizations (CSOs) are recognized as essential actors in this effort, given their proximity to communities and their ability to reach individuals who may face barriers to accessing formal support systems. To strengthen their role, the project will provide targeted training, mentoring, and small-scale support to enable CSOs to actively contribute to awareness-raising, counselling, and community-level promotion of regional mobility. For this reason, the project seeks to build the capacities of selected grass-root CSOs to serve as informed local partners in the promotion of safe and inclusive regional migration, aligned with the goals of the wider social mentoring programme.
