Call for volunteers

Project summary:

The Kosovo Local Government Institute (KLGI) is launching an activity within the Property Rights Initiative (PRI) project to assess levels of awareness regarding property registration and to talk with citizens about the mechanisms available to resolve and facilitate potential property issues in 27 municipalities of Kosovo.

The Property Rights Initiative (PRI) project is implemented by the Advocacy Training and Resource Center (ATRC), co-implemented by the Kosovo Local Government Institute (KLGI) and funded by the World Bank/State and Peacebuilding Fund. PRI aims to address the critical need to improve access to information on land and property registration, as well as to provide advisory services on property rights for women, young people and vulnerable persons in Kosovo. The project activities will help improve socio-economic conditions for sustainable and peaceful development by assisting communities with the necessary, legally supported documentation to strengthen the security of land/property rights, offering an opportunity for their participation in the wider economy and laying the foundations for a more equal society.
