1. Impact Study of Contact Points in the Western Balkans - Call for expert

Since 2005, SALTO SEE has been working with the support of Contact Points in the countries of the Western Balkans. The Contacts Points have promoted, in local languages, different generations of EU programmes in the field of youth to local organisations, institutions and young people and supported them in accessing financial support and implementing projects.

The recent evaluations by the European Commission of Erasmus+ highlight strong, lasting benefits for participants and organisations from the programmes’ neighbouring regions but make no mention of the Contact Points’ activities. This gap calls for a dedicated impact study to document the influence of the work carried out by them. The study will be integrated into a more global approach, which will be also looking at the Info Centres in the countries of Eastern Europe and Caucasus.

The SALTO SEE Resource Centre is looking for one expert to carry out the impact study for the Western Balkan region.
