Around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm.

We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.
We do whatever it takes for children – every day and in times of crisis – transforming their lives and the future we share.
Our vision: A world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection, development, and participation.
Our mission: To inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children, and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.
Our values: Accountability, ambition, collaboration, creativity, and integrity
We are committed to ensuring our resources are used as efficiently as possible, to focus them on achieving maximum impact for children.
Through the project “Enhancing well-being of children and youth with disabilities through improved social inclusion in Kosovo” funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency – Sida represented by the Embassy of Sweden in Prishtina, Save the Children Kosova/o (SCiK) is working to enhance the social inclusion of children, especially those with disabilities, and parents/caregivers in Kosovo through improved basic services, active involvement in child rights and biodiversity protection.
SCiK is seeking to engage one local expert to deliver a capacity building training for representatives of child-led municipal assemblies in understanding environmental issues and recognizing their role as advocates and change agents within their communities. In response to concerns deriving from the Save the Children Young Voice 2024, the training will equip children with foundational knowledge on climate and environmental protection while fostering skills in leadership, teamwork, and local advocacy. By connecting children lived experiences with practical, action-oriented learning, the training will not only enhance their environmental literacy but also inspire a sense of agency and responsibility. Ultimately, it will position the Child-led Municipal Assemblies as active contributors to local climate action, ensuring that children’s voices and ideas are recognized in shaping a greener and more sustainable future for their communities.
Engaged expert is expected to use Save the Children Young Voice 2024 as a fundamental of the developed training program. The methodology should be responsive to the specific concerns of children reflected in the report. Key elements of the methodology should include:
The local expert / company should have the following skills and competencies:
For the selected expert / company, to fulfil the timeline provided below, four (8) working days will be needed, while the assignment it is expected to follow through 24th of November – 24th of December 2026.
As part of our Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning processes, you must keep clear attendance records of all beneficiaries of the activity(ies) organized through this engagement. Save the Children in Kosovo will share our Activity Beneficiary Database with you, which you must fill out during the assignment and submit at the end of the engagement.
Should this engagement require the development and administration of pre- and post-surveys, or any questionnaires of the like, you must consult with the Save the Children in Kosovo Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning team to ensure that all relevant monitoring data is captured through any tools planned.
SCiK will remunerate the expert or the company on a daily gross fee from which the income taxes and pension contribution will be withheld and paid, based on Kosovo Law, or in an amount free of VAT in the case of the company. SCiK will make the payment through bank transfer in the expert’s or company’s bank account upon completion and approval of the assignment and submission of the completed timesheet and invoice.
Payment will only be made upon receipt of a valid invoice accompanied by the timesheet/s for the relevant period. The fees are inclusive of all costs, overheads, and expenses, including travel, subsistence, and accommodation.
