The Decent Work Academy for Western Balkans

Funded by: Western Balkan Found WBF

The proposed Regional Academy for Decent Work in the Western Balkans is a collaborative initiative led by four key partners: the Institute for Social Policy Musine Kokalari (ISPMK) from Kosovo, the Centre for the Politics of Emancipation (CPE) from Serbia, ZORA-Association for social, cultural, and creative development from Bosnia & Herzegovina, and the Safety at Work Association of Montenegro (SWAM). Building on the existing Regional Coalition for Decent Work (www.decentworkbalkans.com), this partnership leverages a history of impactful activities, such as the successful “Decent Work in the Western Balkans” conference in Durrës, which gathered 20 CSOs from all six WB countries. Each partner brings unique expertise in labor rights, advocacy, and social policy, ensuring a robust regional approach. The Academy aims to advance fair labor practices, sustainable economic development, and improved working conditions, contributing to a just working environment throughout the Western Balkans, partially funded by the EU Fund for Balkans.
