The overarching aim of the project supported by USAID and CDF, is to contribute towards the improvement of policy development in four municipalities in Kosovo, namely Gjilan, Sterpce, Obiliq and Gracanica. Specifically, the project aims to advance the knowledge of local officials by providing technical support in drafting and developing Local Socio-Economic Development Plans. In addition, the project seeks to increase the efficiency of local governments in responding to the needs of citizens as well as to further improve communication between Kosovo Albanian and non-majority communities.
