The Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning (MESP) has overall responsibility for the Project and is responsible for the implementation of the Project through its Project Management Team (PMT). The objective of the Project is to strengthen the national capacity for managing Kosovo’s water resources for water security, and in selected basin areas, improve integrated land and water resource management practices and services, in a resilient manner. The programmatic approach is built around two pillars of a) foundational measures for long-term transformation and b) catalytic investments that address the immediate investment needs, deliver implementation lessons, and catalyze additional integrated interventions in water security. The project will implement both the basin specific investments as well as the national investment planning. It includes a number of activities and implements investments that show readiness and are proof-of-concept and/or provide learning opportunities. The project will be flexibly designed to adapt to priorities emerging from the basin planning process, and overall support water security, climate change adaptation and preparing investments for future programmatic and larger scale investments. Several activities that are best approached through civil society initiatives and private sector (a number of activities related to agro-environment, watershed, water-saving, afforestation, irrigation efficiency improvements, tourism) will be supported through targeted and mainstreamed grant financing and sub-projects.
