Riinvest Institute is one of the first institutes with which Friedrich Ebert Foundation (FES) has cooperated since its establishment in Kosovo. Analysis on economic vision , privatization model and Kosovo’s economic development directions, have been few of the topics with which we have launched a public debate, between the institutions, civil society and experts on the issues that are fundamental for Kosovos’ society development.Along with Riinvest, we have offered frist trainnings to the parliament members and first mandaters on budget and economic and development policies and have also cooperated in the concrete analysis of these policies which have helped parliament members to make good and informed decisions.
Analysis of the situation of the agreement created after CEFTA’s blocade, energy policy, and the first study on informality in Kosovo, which offers concrete data on country’s informal economic sector are all important documents that local and international institutions refer to.
All of these products realized by RIINVEST and supported by Friedrich Ebert Foundation , have helped the debate on policies , based on the arguments and data which have offered specific recommendations , many of which are taken into consideration by decision makers. These were made possible only thanks to the dedication of all RIINVEST’s staff who with their knowledge and professionalism have contributed to the realization of these and many other common products in the scope of economy and sustainable development.
Lately, Regional Development Academy in partnership with the European Commission and Riinvest Institute is providing concrete assistance in local economic development, by assisting officials at local municipialites to increase their capabilities in designing, assessing and implementing projects which are important to the development with great impact for the locality or municipality through the component of small grants but even more important is that they are being trained on how to apply for European and other donors projects that facilitate sustainable development.
This is the duty of civil society and the FES mission in Kosovo, that with deepening and specializing of some fields according to certain disciplines to analyze the policies and actions of decision-making institutions with critical overview by offering models, concrete alternative solutions for specific problems.
On this finding, Friedrich Ebert Stiftung thanks RIINVEST Institute for this multi-year cooperation which will continue even in the future, based on the same mision – the development of a democratic Kosovo with a clear vision for development and integration.
