The Balkan Project as the coordinated long-term process of the development YMCAs the Balkan area was initiated in 2000. The period 2009-2011 is the next important stage of it. The countries where the YMCA exists are: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Republic of Macedonia, Kosovo, Romania and Serbia. All of them create the Balkan Region. The project in its main part is funded by the Swiss HorYzon - a structural part of the Swiss YMCA.
The main focus has been the same from the beginning of the project: the continuous support and facilitation of the development of national and local YMCAs in the Balkan Peninsula. However, the democratic base of governing that was achieved in the previous periods and the engagement of foreign partners allow more attention to the fluent progress in the programme area. The external evaluation ordered by the HorYzon helped to introduce some important elements to the Project policy 2009-11.
