Summary
One of the main objective of SDC in Kosovo since 1999 is the promotion of voluntary return of refugees. While most of the ethnic Albanians Kosovars have returned in the meantime, the majority of other ethnic communities such as Romas, Askhalis, Egyptian, Goranis. Muslim Slavs and Turks did not so far. Therefore it was decided by SDC to start a program to facilitate the return for Non-Serbian communities living in Switzerland and in parallel to improve the condition of such a community living in Kosovo, focused on RAE and Goranis as the most disadvantaged group. Objective of this program was the improvement of the existing school system in Kosovo, in particular for the Non-Serbian community by rehabilitation or reconstruction of a school in a remote and rural area. The project included the design and the construction of a new school building with two classroom, offices for teachers, a library and with the necessary sanitary facilities. The construction was executed by a contractor. When ever possible, the contractor employed beneficiaries from the minority and/or other local people from the community.
