KOSINT 2020 Project, in cooperation with KEEN Project, have published and presented the “Evaluation Report on the Implementation of the Strategy for Inclusion of Roma and Ashkali Communities in Kosovo Society in 2017”

In the event there were present civil society organizations, municipal offices for communities, Agency for Employment and Office for Good Governance.

This report provides a summary of the assessment outcome on implementation of Strategy for Inclusion of Roma,
Ashkali and Egyptian Communities in Kosovo Society in 2017 which, concurrently, is a basic development document
for integration of the said communities as well as for strengthening the multi-ethnic and multi-cultural character of
Kosovo society.

The monitoring process was carried out during 2017 and was focused on two, out of four, action fields addressed in the
Strategy for Communities, including Education, Employment and Social Welfare. In this aspect, the current situation
of Roma, Ashkali and Egyptians was analysed during the monitoring process, and so were the commitments of Kosovo
Government towards the accomplishment of objectives on the two aforementioned fields, as well as measures and
activities foreseen in this Strategy for 2017.

Accordingly, the findings of this report show that the implementation of the Strategy in its first year of implementation
remains remote from accomplishment of the foreseen activities, mainly due to lack of political commitment, insufficient
financial and human resources for monitoring of the progress, and improper coordination of both central and local level
institutions.
