Kosoco Credit Support Facility The goal of the program is to establish a local institution that will facilitate increased investment in the private sector through partial credit guarantees issued to banks and other credit providers. Objectives for Kosovo: The KCGF works with financial institutions (banks, MFIs, NFBIs) donors, the Government of Kosovo, the Central Bank, and the MSME community to achieve the following objectives: 1) Increase lending to MSMEs in Kosovo from the local financial institutions; 2) Create jobs, increase local production and value-added services, improve the trade balance, broaden the tax base, strengthen the social safety net, and reduce poverty; and 3) Enhance opportunities for underserved economic sectors and populations including women, minorities, farmers, and entrepreneurs.
Systems for Enforcing Agreements and Decisions (SEAD) Program Since achieving independence in 2008, Kosovo has faced the challenge of establishing a system for enforcing legal agreements and court decisions that are necessary to stimulate domestic economic growth and foreign investment. In particular, the responsibility given to municipal court judges for executing utility bills and other minor claims has left the courts with large backlogs of civil cases and diverted resources from protecting the contract and property rights of citizens and businesses. As USAID's implementing partner for the SEAD Program, Checchi is working with local institutions to address these challenges through the introduction of stronger enforcement and dispute resolution mechanisms. Program components focus on promoting the acceptance and use of standardized contracts and binding obligations in commercial transactions, streamlining procedures for the enforcement of judgments, and developing an effective system for alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in Kosovo that is consistent with international standards.
Engagement for Equity (E4E) (Kosovo):  .While civil society has made significant progress in.the last 20 years with USAID assistance, Kosovo still has weak linkages between.governmental and non-governmental institutions and its citizenry.  Hence,.with the new Civil Society Activity, USAID aims to strengthen the.accountability between the Government of Kosovo, civil society organizations.(CSOs), and citizens by increasing citizens' participation and decreasing CSO.and citizen donor dependency. With FY 2019 funds, USAID will strive to: increase.the ability of civil society to develop and implement people-centered.solutions;  increase capacities of CSOs to mobilize and control assets in.developing and implementing solutions to challenges faced by their communities.(thus shifting from a donor-led agenda to a citizen-centered agenda); and.mobilize and leverage Government of Kosovo financial resources to strengthen.services based on citizen needs. This activity will also foster resource.diversification (from government, private donors, diaspora, etc.). USAID will also work with CSOs on financial self-reliance. The activity aligns with.JRS Goal 4.1, by seeking to strengthen the rule of law, separation of powers,.independent media, and civil society, in part through youth development. This.activity also aligns with CAATSA #5 with $500,000 allocated toward.strengthening the capacity of CSOs to represent citizens' interests, which in.turn will contribute to a constructive environment for Kosovo's development and.prosperity.... Objectives for Kosovo: Conduct complex advocacy and awareness campaigns in cooperation with stakeholders from diverse segments of society and government. Engage in drafting policy recommendations on democracy, governance, and economic empowerment issues, drawn from consultations with members of vulnerable populations, a wider base of citizens, and other relevant stakeholders. Monitor and track the implementation of targeted legislation, reforms, and initiatives of high importance to vulnerable and marginalized groups. Engagement for Equity focuses its support on:. Strengthening women in governance and economy. Empowering women through enhanced awareness of women’s property rights. Increasing protection and awareness of LGBT community rights. Expanding participation of people with disabilities (PwD). Expanding youth participation/ Expand Youth Participation to counter violent extremism
