  KOSOVO - Civil society project contributes to Women, Peace, and Security Agenda

  The Support to civil society in Kosovo project, mandated to strengthen democratic participation and foster a robust civil society, officially launched its first activity on 5 November 2024 within the partnership agreement with the Jahjaga Foundation.   

  This high-level event was hosted by Jahjaga Foundation in Pristina. Its purpose was to present its work over the years on the topic of the Women, Peace, and Security Programme and announce the expansion of its efforts to strengthen it through the support of the Luxembourg Cooperation.

  Jahjaga Foundation pledged to further empower women by enhancing their engagement and inclusion and ensuring the voices of marginalised women are heard nationally and internationally.

  “The Jahjaga Foundation believes that sustainable peace cannot exist without addressing all forms of violence and discrimination against women,” the organisation said in a statement.

  Her Excellency Ms. Atifete Jahjaga addressing the event

  Kosovo’s first female President founded the foundation, Her Excellency Ms. Atifete Jahjaga, whose background in security includes active support for women survivors of sexual violence during the Kosovo war and continuous advocacy for victims of domestic violence.

  During the event, Prime Minister Albin Kurti emphasised the importance of remembering Kosovo’s past, especially the resilience shown by its people and, in particular, its women. He also highlighted the government’s recent adoption of a Strategy for Transitional Justice to address these challenges.

  This partnership will lay the groundwork for establishment of Jahjaga Women, Peace and Security Institute. Through it, efforts will focus on raising awareness and influencing policy regarding women's inclusion and contributions to peace and security, particularly in Kosovo's multi-community society.

  The Support to the civil society in Kosovo project, funded by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and implemented by LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency, aims to strengthen democratic participation and develop a strong and dynamic civil society in the country.

  KOSOVO - Pioneering energy transition: a new framework for monitoring and accountability

  Luxembourg Cooperation is supporting Kosovo institutions to create a modern monitoring and evaluation system to guide the country’s Energy Strategy. Led by the Ministry of Economy and supported by the Energy transition and climate mitigation in Kosovo project, this initiative is a bold move toward a sustainable, green energy future.

  The core of this initiative is establishing a robust monitoring and evaluation system that aligns Kosovo’s regulatory framework with international standards for renewable energy and energy efficiency. The system will track key indicators over the next decades, providing transparency and enabling evidence-based decisions for ongoing improvements in the energy sector.

  The activity was launched with a workshop on 28 and 29 October involving 25 representatives from state institutions and key energy players in the country. "The approach proposed and agreed upon with stakeholders focuses on establishing an monitoring and evaluation system aimed at driving change in energy efficiency and decarbonization", explained Andrea POZZA, LuxDev consultant on monitoring and evaluation.

  

  Monitoring and evaluation workshop with institutions and key energy players

  This collaborative start fostered inter-institutional cooperation, laying a solid foundation for Kosovo's transition. The monitoring and evaluation system’s innovative digital platform will streamline data collection, aggregation, and analysis of 33 essential energy indicators, enhancing real-time decision-making.

  "This system is a groundbreaking tool for our institutions to monitor the progress of key policies. It will enable all stakeholders in the energy sector involved in the Energy Strategy to track both advancements and the impact of these changes", said Besiana QORRAJ-BERISHA, National Project Coordinator from the Ministry of Economy. 

  

  "Monitoring and evaluation system is crucial for evidence-based decision making in the energy sector. This endeavor, which implies closely working with all relevant stakeholders is crucial to ensure inter-institutional cooperation as a prerequisite of having a well-functioning system. It will ensure well-aligned information flow channels to ensure reliability of data flow, and enhanced data analysis", added Artan SADIKU, LuxDev Kosovo monitoring and evaluation specialist.

  

  With LuxDev’s expertise, the initiative focuses on local capacity-building, ensuring Kosovo’s institutions retain full ownership and operational knowledge of the monitoring and evaluation framework. This participatory approach empowers stakeholders and sets a benchmark for accountability and transparency, ultimately driving Kosovo’s green energy goals toward a resilient future.

  Kosovo’s Energy Strategy from 2022 to 2031 sets the tone for a more efficient energy consumption and lays out ambitious targets to increase its renewable energy capacities from 300 MW to 1600 MW by 2031. The specific objective of the Energy transition and climate mitigation in Kosovo project is to promote and facilitate the adoption of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources in Kosovo's transition to clean energy. The project is funded by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and implemented by LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency.

  KOSOVO - Improving employment through incentivising Lifelong Learning

  LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency, and EARK, the Employment Agency of the Republic of Kosovo, have partnered to enhance vocational education and training (VET) in Kosovo. This partnership addresses the critical need to align the workforce's skills with the demands of the private sector.

  

  Ralph ROTHE, Skills for sustainable jobs in Kosovo project manager, with Jehona REXHA, acting Director of the Employment Agency of the Republic of Kosovo

  Vocational education is seen as a vital component in supporting Kosovo's sustainable development and economic growth. However, the gap between the skills developed through education and those required by employers has been a significant challenge for Kosovo. The Skills for sustainable jobs in Kosovo project seeks to address this by offering technical and financial support to EARK and enhancing the capacity of vocational training centres across the country.

  The project will focus on several key areas, including developing and accreditation new programmes, updating existing curricula, and providing the necessary technical equipment for workshops. Additionally, the project will support the capacity building of teachers and managerial staff, promote lifelong learning, and increase women's participation in vocational courses. The four priority areas of the collaboration include information, communication and technology, renewable energy and energy efficiency, food processing, and wood processing.

  One of the significant components of this collaboration is the support for the Recognition of Prior Learning system, which allows individuals to receive formal acknowledgement of skills and knowledge acquired outside traditional educational settings. This initiative is expected to promote vocational training services and improve the overall quality of VET in Kosovo.

  The activities under this project will be implemented over 25 months, with specific milestones scheduled from now until March 2025. These include supporting workshops for food processing in Peja, transitioning the Electrical Installer profile to a renewable energy workshop in Mitrovica, and enhancing digital soft skills training through EARK’s new portal.

  This partnership underscores the commitment of both the Government of Kosovo and the Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to developing a skilled workforce in Kosovo, ultimately contributing to the country's long-term economic stability and growth.

  The Skills for sustainable jobs in Kosovo project is financed by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and implemented by LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency. It aims to contribute to sustainable economic growth by supporting innovation, inclusiveness, and social development in a greener Kosovo.

  KOSOVO - Luxembourg Cooperation supports the fight against cardiovascular disease

  As a testament to Luxembourg’s commitment to improving healthcare, a new service for treating patients with cardiovascular problems was inaugurated on 14 June 2024 at the General Hospital of Prizren. This hospital – a partner of “Health Support Programme in Kosovo - Phase II” – was equipped with a state-of-the-art Catheterisation Laboratory (CathLab) and provided with necessary training and operational procedures, all in accordance with the legislation in force.

  CathLab at the General Hospital of Prizren

  The inauguration of the new healthcare service in the second biggest city in Kosovo was met with appreciation at a high-level government event. The significance of such services being provided to citizens outside of the capital, making them affordable and easily accessible, was acknowledged.

  Albin Kurti, Prime Minister of Kosovo, said: "This service is very important because success depends on the intervention time. The new interventional cardiology service at the General Hospital of Prizren will cover the entire Prizren region and help save lives. The service will start today. What we expect to be the result is the reduction of the waiting list in the Prizren region and citizens to have access to high quality and financially affordable services".

  The General Hospital of Prizren, a benefiting institution and Luxembourg Cooperation's long-term partner since 2003, has achieved another milestone towards the quality and safety of service provision in the region of Prizren, the hospital's overarching objective.

  Dr. Narqize Arënliu Hoxhaj, Executive Director, General Hospital of Prizren: "Today is an event of special importance for all of us, as we are inaugurating the Interventional Cardiology Service – CathLab, a service that offers the opportunity to save lives, especially in cardiac emergencies. All this was achieved thanks to the help and support of the Government of Kosovo, the Ministry of Health, Kosovo Hospital and University Clinic Services, and the Government of Luxembourg, through the “Health Support Programme in Kosovo - Phase II” project implemented by LuxDev. Without everyone's support, this would not be possible. This cooperation confirms everyone's dedication to improving the quality and safety of services at Prizren Hospital."

  The new CathLab results from great collaboration and joint efforts by the Government of the Republic of Kosovo and the Government of Luxembourg. The total investment of the Government of Kosovo for the architectural plan and infrastructural works was about EUR 1 million. The Government of Luxembourg allocated EUR 2 million for all medical equipment necessary for the functioning of this service, non-medical inventory (furniture) and professional training of staff, including the expertise provided by the Institut National de Chirurgie Cardiaque et de Cardiologie Interventionnelle – INCCI of Luxembourg.

  H.E. Eric Dietz, Chargé d’Affaires e.p., Embassy of Luxembourg in Pristina: “Today, we are inaugurating a new CathLab. This new unit is more than just a building; it is a phare of hope and is a flagship project that represents not only the culmination of years of cooperation and dedication but also innovation. It also materialises the transfer of Know How from highly respected Luxembourgish professional institutions such as INCCI to Kosovo healthcare institutions through close collaboration and cooperation between our two countries. Through our determined joint efforts, we have supported the Prizren Hospital's introduction of new services and modernization and upgrade of existing ones.”

  It is noteworthy to mention that in Kosovo, cardiovascular diseases stand as the primary cause of morbidity and mortality among citizens above 50 years old, thus having significant implications for public health. In 2019, over half (51.1%) of deaths in the country were attributed to cardiovascular-related causes, with women being more affected (54.2%) than men (48.5%).

  A CathLab is a specialised room in a hospital or medical facility equipped with diagnostic imaging equipment and other medical devices used to perform minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat cardiovascular conditions. In the CathLab, doctors, typically cardiologists or interventional radiologists, perform procedures such as cardiac catheterisation, angioplasty, stenting, and other interventions to diagnose and treat conditions like coronary artery disease, heart valve disorders, and congenital heart defects.

  During the first intervention at the CathLab

  Collaborating with local medical professionals and authorities, as well as with Luxembourg institutions such as the INCCI, the project strives to create a resilient and sustainable healthcare ecosystem to meet the needs of the Kosovar population. Its special focus is on cardiovascular diseases, which are the main causes of mortality and morbidity in Kosovo.

  The project primarily operates at two general hospitals: the General Hospital of Prizren and the General Hospital of Gjilan. It also supports the capacity building of the Ministry of Health at the central level and the capacity building of partners such as the Chamber of Physicians and the Kosovo Hospital and University Clinical Services.

  The Health Sector Support Programme in Kosovo - Phase II is co-funded by the Government of Kosovo and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and implemented by the Kosovo Ministry of Health and LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency.

  LUXEMBOURG - Visit of a delegation from Kosovo

  A delegation led by Ms Fadile Dyla, General Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation in Kosovo and Ms Ryve Prekorogja, Head of the lifelong education division, came to Luxembourg in the framework of the project Skills for sustainable jobs in Kosovo. Ms Claire Stoffels (Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, Defence, Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade), M. Behlul Shaljani and M. Pascal Fabing (LuxDev) have been accompanying the delegation who had the opportunity to exchange with the Director General of LuxDev, M. Manuel Tonnar.

  

  The objective of the visit was to initiate a partnership between the Interdisciplinary Center for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) at the University of Luxembourg and the University of Pristina. Two professors at the University of Pristina, Pr Blerim Rexha and Pr Qëndrim Gashi have had in-depth discussion with Prof. Dr. Marcus Völp and Dr. Carlo Duprel during the SnT Partnership Day. The cooperation will start during the second semester and will target master and PhD students, with a specific focus on cybersecurity.

  

  The delegation was also welcomed at the House of Cybersecurity by M. Pascal Steichen and M. Dominique Kogue and informed about the importance of building bridges between skills development, research and the private sector. The visit paves the way for synergies with the project Sustainable and inclusive growth and more specifically its cybersecurity component.

  

  Finally, Kim Heuskin, Deputy Headmaster at Lycée des Arts et Métiers and Benoît Fortemps, Head of the TalentHub, could share interesting ways to immerse Level V students in real life situations by organising a PowerWeek around challenges proposed by socio-economic partners every year or by hosting start-ups on their campus. These examples together with some experiments on the use of artificial intelligence in education will inspire the development of the future ICT school in Pristina supported by Luxembourg.

  The Skills for sustainable jobs and Sustainable and inclusive growth projects are financed by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and implemented by LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency.
