In January 2005 Praxis established close cooperation with the ARC Field Offices and started planning joint mobile team visits (Go & Inform Visits) to different places in Southern Serbia where IDPs are accommodated. ARC’s mandate includes the reconstruction of houses for returnees to Kosovo. Praxis agreed to regularly participate on ARC’s Go & Inform Visits (GIV) by providing IDPs with legal assistance, information and counselling. The first GIV took place on February 1, when Praxis and CRP/Kosovo visited IDPs in Novi Pazar. The visits to Bujanovac in February and Svilajnac in March followed.
ICRC’s Cash Assistance Programme (CAP) was launched in December 2003, targeting destitute IDP families falling below the national social security level, with no capacity to sustain themselves and therefore not eligible for any form of income-generation assistance. The programme was designed and implemented with the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Welfare of Serbia and Montenegro and the Commissariat for Refugees. It offered a monthly cash assistance in the amount of 30€ - equal to the standard social allowance provided by the state – to 7,500 selected IDP households (approx. 37,500 individuals).
In Serbia, the agreement was that each month, 500 out of 6,000 IDP families supported by the ICRC would be screened by the Ministry and if they met criteria, they would be included in the national social welfare system.
One of the major difficulties IDPs faced when applying for the state social assistance was to collect all required documentation. In order to overcome this problem, ICRC established cooperation with the Norwegian Refugee Council (Civil Rights Project) for obtaining necessary documents on behalf of IDPs and later on, developed the cooperation with Praxis. Praxis obtained more than 400 hundred documents (mainly excerpts from birth and citizenship registry books) for CAP beneficiaries After 12 months of the programme implementation in Serbia 16% of the initial caseload (5,761 persons) were transferred to the state social welfare system. As many as 57% (2,590 persons) of CAP beneficiaries did not formally apply for it, mainly for the lack of documentation (8%) or income-related reasons (71%). However, among those who did apply (1,961 persons) 47% were included in the social state system.

Following the gradual withdrawal of the Norwegian Refugee Council from former Yugoslavia, national staff of the NRC Civil Rights Projects established four independent national NGOs:
The four above-mentioned NGOs acknowledge their common NRC heritage and the usefulness of regional cooperation and a cross-border/boundary approach to the problems of refugees, internally displaced persons and returnees.
The NGOs have decided to continue their regional cooperation, including the following:
Praxis has been cooperating with DRC in the implementation of its EAR-funded project Support to Cross Boundary Initiatives for IDPs from Kosovo (September 1, 2004 – August 31, 2005). DRC’s Information Offices in seven towns in Serbia and Montenegro provide IDPs with different information and refer those IDPs who need legal assistance to Praxis offices. Beside direct assistance to individual clients, Praxis staff has also been providing training to DRC Information Officers.
In December 2004 DRC and Praxis signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) wishing to continue the longstanding relationship between DRC and NRC in the implementation of projects dealing with assistance to the displaced population and the protection of their legal rights. DRC and Praxis agreed to cooperate closely, share information, experience and knowledge related to issues of relevance for the displaced population and when it is of mutual interest undertake joint advocacy initiatives. DRC and Praxis also agreed to organize joint staff information sessions with the aim of exchanging information and expertise required for the effective removal of the barriers the displaced persons face in accessing their rights.
