KLGI and the MRD organised a workshop to discuss the objectives of the regional development strategy

The Kosovo Local Government Institute (KLGI), in cooperation with the Ministry of Regional Development (MRD), organised a further workshop with the working group for drafting the Strategy for Regional Development 2020-2030. This discussion is part of the support that the KLGI Institute is offering institutions during the drafting of policies/legislation in the field of local governance.

During the meeting, the strategic objectives to be set out in this strategic document were discussed. This strategy sets out the long-term goals and priorities for regional development and, at the same time, enables the coordination of policies that contribute to the balanced development of the regions. Above all, it serves as a guide for local economic development by taking initiatives and implementing joint development projects.

Regional socio-economic analysis and the identification of priorities will support sustainable regional development. In this context, regional development is about integrating different policies and programmes, creating new synergies, improving coordination and involving local communities in formulating and implementing concrete policies.

This strategy will be completed after lengthy study and the joint efforts of all stakeholders, fulfilling its objectives in the service of sustainable regional economic development.

The KLGI Institute, through its programmes, will continue to support institutions in drafting policies and legislation affecting the field of local governance in the Republic of Kosovo.

This activity was carried out within the project ‘Support for Stronger and More Sustainable Municipalities’, funded by the Royal Norwegian Embassy.
