Kosovo Training Program Recognizes Participants
More than one hundred civil servants, lawyers, judges, and civil society representatives were honored at USAID/Kosovo's annual Participant Training Program award ceremony in March 2008.
"All of you, regardless of the Government agency, NGO, or business that you represent, will play a critical role in the progress Kosovo makes toward becoming a prosperous, democratic, and multi-ethnic society. I encourage you to make the most of it by sharing what you've learned with your colleagues and by continuously looking for new ways to apply your knowledge to your work," said Tina Kaidanow, U.S. Office Pristina Chief of Mission. Hashim Thaçi, Prime Minister of Kosovo, also spoke at the event.
The 138 awardees participated in study tours and workshops in a wide array of technical fields, including judicial reform, business development, budgetary policy, and media. The ceremony also recognized 24 Kosovo citizens who have served as computer and English language instructors in seven schools and one community center as part of USAID’s effort to bridge the divide between young Kosovo Albanians and Kosovo Serbs.
To date, more than 600 Kosovars have participated in the Participant Training Program, implemented for USAID by World Learning.
