CNVP’s mission is to use evidence-based analysis to improve the sustainable livelihoods of rural communities affected by the ongoing process of environmental and climate change.

CNVP focuses on agri-rural, forestry and renewable energy activities that will reduce environmental risks and ecological scarcities, as well as achieve sustainable development without degrading the environment. CNVP also addresses issues of unsafe water provision, sanitation and drainage, inadequate solid and hazardous waste management, and air pollution. Other activities cover women’s economic empowerment, support for rural youth, climate change and eco-journalism.

CNVP’s expertise in afforestation and the use of wood bio-mass for renewable energy.is in line with Serbia’s environmental priorities (adminstered by the the Ministry of Environmental Protection). 

CNVP was registered as a branch office in Serbia on 6 February 2018. Dragana Djukic, CNVP’s representative in Serbia, is initially working out of Impact Hub, the business incubator in Belgrade at Makedonska 21 (https://belgrade.impacthub.net/?lang=en). Registration of CNVP in Serbia will make the organisation more visible, allowing links to be built with local NGOs and institutions with which to develop project possibilities in-country, as well as on a cross-border and regional basis.
