Building Bridges to a Better Future
|
For the first time in 2002 human development indicators have been analyzed for Kosovo. This first Report takes stock of the human development status in the region and introduces the general concept of human-oriented development to Kosovans. By developing these baseline indicators, the Report is meant to help assess the success of long-term policies designed to improve living standards in Kosovo. Although Kosovo's long-term political status remains sensitive, the region is striving to reach levels of development comparable to other areas and countries in the region and elsewhere in Europe. The first HDR contributes to these efforts. Year: 2002 |
The Rise of the Citizen: Challenges and Choices

The HDR for Kosovo 2004 will provide an excellent opportunity to deepen our understanding of Human Development and how it applies to Kosovo. Whilst the first report established a base-line, this second report will explore in greater detail one particular aspect of Human Development and how this pertains to Kosovo. The proposed theme reflects a judgement that in 2004 key issues of public debate are likely to include: Assembly elections (in November 2004); an accelerated transfer of competencies to the PISG in 2003; decreasing international assistance and oversight; consolidation of the democratisation process; and an ongoing debate about decentralization. To be valuable, the HDR must be topical therefore this context is important.

A new generation for a new Kosovo
|
The new report provides an excellent opportunity to deepen our understanding of human development and how it applies to Kosovo. Whilst the first report established a base-line, the second report explored in greater detail the differences in development in Kosovan population. The KHDR 2006 report explores the human development concerns of one of the most critical segments of Kosovo society, the youth, which represent both the potential wealth of the Kosovo society for accelerated development and, at the same time, a major potential risk if it is not approached adequately. This report also assess whether there have been improvements in human development since 2002 and identify different development challenges that have emerged since first KHDR report. Year: 2006 |

After a close look at what we mean when we say “civil society” and what we mean when we say “development,” the report goes on to explore the history of civil society in Kosovo, its legal context, and ways it can influence public policy. Next, it looks at civil society through the eyes of the government and the general public, before discussing ways that CSOs can effectively work together with the government, with each other, and with the media, and ways they can influence and benefit from the European integration process. The final two chapters suggest improvements that CSOs should strive for and explore the potential of Community Driven Human Development in Kosovo. Year: 2008 |

The Report examines traditional socio-economic indicators, from poverty and unemployment to health and education, from the perspective of social inclusion. It explores how discrimination – deliberate or otherwise – affects Kosovo’s socio-economic balance, its political process and its EU-orientated policy goals. It also identifies social groups feeling the bite of exclusion more deeply than others. These groups risk becoming Kosovo’s invisible population unless they are moved quickly up the policy prioritization ladder and made the primary focus of Kosovo’s development agenda: the long-term unemployed, disadvantaged children and youth, rural women, Kosovo-Roma, Askhali and Egyptian (RAE) communities, people with special needs. Finally, it offers some recommendations on how the move towards a more inclusive society might be managed, as a fundamental precursor to other economic and political progress. Year: 2010 |

The Kosovo HDR 2012 focuses on the linkages between human development and private sector expansion showing that private sector growth is intricately connected with Kosovo's social context and that it needs to be built from a much wider and fairer base than currently to unleash the real potential of Kosovo's market place. A new survey on Enterprise Barriers was prepared and conducted by Riinvest with a representative sample of 600 business owners across the reach of Kosovo, and results tested through focus groups with wider audiences.
