This report presents the needs of the Centers for Social Work in Kosovo in the field of promotion and protection of children's rights and will serve as a basis for advancing the knowledge and capacity of the Centers for Social Work in the field of child protection.

Desk review analysis has shown that there is satisfactory legislative infrastructure, including Law on Child Protection, Law on Social and Family Services, Law on Protection from Domestic Violence etc. for CSW services in child protection. But still, there is a need for future improvement of some secondary legislation, especially by-laws. Also, there are indications that implementation of laws has stagnated in different levels of implementation that are usually conditioned by: lack of staff, professional profiles of service providers, adequate and inconsistent services, poor and inappropriate funding, planning and coordination fragmented and unsteady.

This publication of the report was realized within the project "Capacity Building for Children's Rights" - a project funded by the European Commission Office in Kosovo, implemented by SOS Children's Villages Kosovo in partnership with HANDIKOS. The contents of this report are the sole responsibility of SOS Children's Villages Kosovo and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission Office.
