Kosovo
The Challenge
USAID’s objectives in Kosovo are to strengthen Kosovo’s integration into the Euro-Atlantic community and to promote Kosovo’s contribution to ethnic integration in the region. Kosovo’s significant challenges, exacerbated by a history of isolation and poverty, include corruption and high unemployment. Weak rule of law, low business competitiveness and poor infrastructure further characterize Kosovo’s impediments. USAID/Kosovo’s programs support rule of law, economic growth, democratic development, and social stability. Rule of Law programs have a strong anti-corruption focus, targeting state and national governments. Other USAID programs focus on reforming the primary health care system, on strengthening the competitive capacity of Kosovon enterprises, on anti-trafficking initiatives focused on prevention, protection and reintegration of victims, and on reforming the energy sector.
