As part of its commitment to democratic governance and European integration, Kosovo has recognized the vital role of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in contributing to policymaking processes. However, the extent to which government institutions consult CSOs at early stages of policy and legislative development is a matter of concern. According to the WeBER 2.0 survey, only 7% of CSOs in Kosovo report being consulted by government institutions in the early phases of policymaking. Effective policy development and coordination are essential for addressing the multifaceted challenges. In this context, early consultations play a pivotal role in shaping policies that are responsive to the needs and aspirations of Kosovo. Furthermore, the involvement of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) adds an invaluable dimension to the policy-making process by ensuring inclusivity, transparency, and accountability. Early consultations facilitate the alignment of policies across various sectors. Kosovo’s development requires a coherent and integrated approach that transcends individual sectors. Through consultations, policymakers can identify overlapping goals, reduce duplication of efforts, and ensure that policies are harmonized to work collectively towards the nation’s development objectives. Consultations enable evidence-based decision-making. By engaging experts, researchers, and stakeholders in the policy development process, policymakers can access a wealth of knowledge and data. This information helps in crafting policies that are not only informed by local realities but also grounded in international best practices, thus increasing the chances of their success.
