Sustainable and inclusive growth in Kosovo

The overall objective of the Sustainable and inclusive growth in Kosovo project is to contribute to a sustainable economic growth by supporting innovation, inclusiveness, and social development in a greener Kosovo.

The specific objective of the project aims to encourage innovation as well as local and foreign investments in an e-securised and transparent environment.

The project’s first component focusses on establishing the Sovereign Fund of the Republic of Kosovo which promises to improve the government’s finances and attract foreign investments, thereby leading to economic growth.

The second component will improve Kosovo’s cybersecurity capacities. Given the growing need for strengthened cyber infrastructure and capacities, this component, implemented by the Ministry for Internal Affairs, will look at reinforcing Kosovo’s resilience against cyber threats.

The third component refers to the stimulation of innovation in the private sector. The objective is to increase the value added to products and services and overcome barriers to export, which leads to economic growth. It is implemented by the Ministry of Industry, Entrepreneurship and Trade.

The fourth component regards the Parliaments support to digitalisation by replacing its non-functional electronic voting system. The goal is to improve voting transparency and accountability of public information services and to remove a specific hurdle on the path to the integration into the European Union. This component is implemented by the Parliament of Kosovo.
