Support measure from SALTO SEE: ESC buddy-support system - paused in 2026

This measure is designed by SALTO SEE to support quality and quantity of volunteering projects within the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) in the Western Balkans (WB). In the first stages it provides capacity building support for the ESC organizations in the WB, followed by a stage aimed at ESC volunteers exchange for those who have conditions fulfilled.

The measure aims to support one of the following two aspects:

enhancing quality in ESC projects
enhancing partnership creation (matching an in-experienced organization from WB with an experienced organization from ESC participating country holding a Quality Label for lead role in the ESC)

The measure addresses the needs of following types of organizations:

Primarily, in-experienced or less experienced organizations from WB, holding a Quality Label for the ESC, which would like to (re)start being active within ESC
experienced organizations holding a Quality Label for lead role from an ESC participating (program) country, which is interested in creating a new partnership with the organisation from WB (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro and Serbia) for joint volunteering projects.
