Outcome insights and achievements
Outcome progress note for the year
Outcome 1.1 All women and men in Kosovo enjoy more accountable, effective, transparent, and gender-responsive institutions at all levels ensuring access to justice, equality and participation for all (KOS UNSDCF Outcome I)
This outcome has not been acheived however the progress has been made towards advancment of gender responsive legislation and increased capacities of key institutions therefore women and girls have benefited from the progress that was made during 2022. Yet, women remain under-represented in decision-making positions in private and public institutions. The participation of women in politics is evident but remains low. Civil society continued to play a critical role in advancing gender equality with key highlights on the need for the institutions to address gender discrimination in the labour market and adopt more advanced and gender sensitive policies related to child and elderly care, family-friendly workplaces and work life balance provisions. The long-awaited process of adoption of the Labour Law, amendment of OSH Law and Labour Inspectorate Law, as per Government legislative plan for 2022, did not take place. Kosovo Institute for Public Administration (KIPA), Labour Inspectorate, Vocational Education and Training (VET) competency centers , selected women entrepreneurs and universities are more responsive to gender issues and preventive and protection policies. Their active engagement in capacity development and advocacy initiatives, related to gender component in Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) and more specifically to the topic on prevention of sexual harassment in the workplace, contributed to following results: Eighty-two (82) representatives from different sectors and professions, such as human resources officials, vocational education teachers, women entrepreneurs and university professors increased their knowledge specifically on the topic of prevention of sexual harassment in the workplace. The central reference document was the policy against sexual harassment (Nr.260/2020) in public institutions adopted by the Office of the Prime Minister in 2020. UN Women needs to further address this intervention institutionally with the aim of embedding and adapting the policy into the sector specific capacity building training programs, strategies, and laws that regulate labour relations, in public and private sectors. Thirty-eight (38) local stakeholders raised challenges and concerns faced within their workplaces through direct interaction with the Ombudsperson, as the chair of the Informal Advocacy Task Force for gender sensitive occupational health and safety (OSH) and decent work. Moreover, the office of Ombudsperson initiated a research report on the topic of sexual harassment in public and private workplaces. University of Business and Technology (UBT) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) joined the community of +7000 businesses around the globe as two (2) new signatories of Women Empowerment Principles (WEPs). These concluded as part of partnerships established through joint MOUs with entities representing private sector such as, Kosovo CSR Network and Kosovar-German Chamber of Commerce. The Ministry of Finance, Labor and Transfers (MFLT), raised the awareness on labour rights through the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) campaign "Decent Work for a Dignified Life" launched in December 14, 2022 as a joint initiative with International Labour Organization (ILO), UN Women and Civil Society project partners CDF , IKS , QPA and LENS through support from the Swedish Embassy in Pristina . At the central level: The Government approved the Gender Responsive Budgeting Concept Document for the first time in Kosovo to kick off the drafting process of the regulatory framework for the GRB implementation. 122 local and central officials are better equipped to mainstream gender at the central level as a result of UN Women technical expertize. 33 budget officials from 11 of 15 line-ministries in total were assessed on the implementation of Gender Responsive requirements from the Budget Circular of the Ministry of Finance, Labor and Transfer. The Ministry of Finance, Labor, and Transfers, line Ministries and State Audit Institutions were introduced to the Budget Statement and are aware and capable of implementing gender responsive auditing for the first time in Kosovo. A feasibility study on PFM lays the ground for the development of the normative legal act on GRB for the first time in Kosovo, supported by UN Women. At the local level perspective: The administration strengthened its capacity to fulfill the requirements arising from the Law on Gender Equality and the advancement of the gender responsive budgeting (GRB) processes. 16 Kosovo Municipalities signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with UN Women for the advancement of gender responsive budgeting and gender equality to ensure the integration of a gender perspective in all programs. 64 local-level representatives - Deputy Mayors, Budget Directors, and Financial and Gender Equality Officials - from 16 municipalities are able to identify gender gaps through conducting gender analysis on their program and budget documents. The government endorsed four engendered Municipal Midterm Budget frameworks in 2022. These important achievements towards GRB implementation in Kosovo come as a result of UN Women support to the central and local level through the regional programme on transformative financing, funded by SIDA. Moreover these results were achieved thanks to UN Women’s support and capacity building efforts at the local level and central level including expert mentoring and technical support to municipalities' staff, which aimed to better equip local government institutions with knowledge to apply gender responsive budgeting principles and gender-responsive indicators.The original strategy and ToC for this outcome is largely still applicable.
Outcome 1.1 All women and men in Kosovo enjoy more accountable, effective, transparent, and gender-responsive institutions at all levels ensuring access to justice, equality and participation for all (KOS UNSDCF Outcome I)
This outcome is on track and progress has been made national and local governments are making progress in strengthening their capacities to adhere to the global norms and standards of gender equality, particularly in implementing the EU gender equality acquis. Gender Equality Officers from central and local levels and IPA programming representatives advanced their knowledge, skills and capacity on gender mainstreaming in EU integration and national IPA programming. These respective forty-three public officials, 33 women and 10 men benefited from the induction session, organised by UN Women and played a crucial role in familiarising them with the requirements for compliance with global norms and standards as well as implementing the EU gender equality acquis. In addition, they are enabled to identify specific gender mainstreaming capacity needs of public officials involved in EU integration processes. The content of the induction and the evaluation of the sessions enclosed provide evidence of the result. The Agency for Gender Equality (AGE) provided legal analysis and is enabled to ensure integration of the gender perspective into a specific legal framework. In addition, AGE reviewed the Kosovo Programme for Gender Equality to allow priority actions for gender equality at the central and local levels and with technical expertise provided by UN Women. The Agency for Gender Equality (AGE) is assigned a leading role by the Governmental Decision endorsed on establishment of a Steering Committee for the 'Gender Equality Facility' Project with the primary purpose of overseeing the implementation of GEF. Furthermore, the governmental decision underscores the commitment to advancing gender equality and indicates a strategic alignment with government priorities in the approximation with the EU gender acquis. Seventeen municipalities, committed to implementing gender mainstreaming in their policies and plans, aligning with the European Charter for Equality and the Kosovo Programme for Gender Equality. Three of these municipalities successfully endorsed local action plans on gender equality. A total of 80 municipal public officials, comprising 48 women and 32 men from eight municipalities, actively participated in introductory workshops to familiarize themselves with the European Charter for Equality and initiate municipal gender action plans. Seventeen selected applicants, including twelve women and four men, enhanced their knowledge and skills to introduce the European Charter tools in municipalities, enabling them to provide support to municipal officials and design gender action . UN Women contributed to this result by initially initiating the process by securing commitments from municipalities to implement gender mainstreaming in their policies and plans, demonstrating a top-down approach with local governments prioritizing gender equality. Subsequently, UN Women provided technical assistance, training, workshops, and support to municipalities and key stakeholders at the central level. This facilitation enabled the adoption of gender mainstreaming practices aligned with international frameworks and commitments. In line with the European Union Gender Action Plan III (EU GAP III), which requires that 85% all EU funded projects have an OECD Gender Marker 1 or 2. An expert on gender mainstreaming, reviewed a total of nine EU Action Documents from the EU Office in Kosovo, and provided 229 inputs with recommendation on integration of gender perspective in their objectives, indicators, and activities. In addition, four Kosovo CSO’s implementing EU-funded projects, aligned their interventions with the EU GAP III and the Country Level Implementation Plan (CLIP) on the GAP III for Kosovo, w support. This ensures that EU-funded support effectively delivers OECD Gender Marker 1 or 2, and not only contributes to the objectives of EU GAP III but also fosters a just and inclusive future for Kosovo. In terms of Gender Responsive Budgeting although the outcome was not fully achieved in 2023, Kosovo made significant progress to improve the legal and institutional frame on gender equality, enhance evidence-based policy making, strengthen accountability mechanisms, and more effective and gender-responsive service provision. In 2023, Kosovo made significant strides to advance gender equality despite not fully achieving the desired outcomes. The government demonstrated its commitment by establishing a working group on Gender-Responsive Budgeting (GRB), signalling an intent to enhance gender-related legislation. The Ministry of Finance initiated the integration of GRB into the national legal framework overseeing public finance management. At the local level, women accessed improved child-care and trainings as a result of sector-specific gender analysis and actions and policies taken to respond to child care support, and subsidies on agriculture and digitalization training. Notably, 13 municipalities adopted gender-inclusive Mid-Term Budget Frameworks based on UN Women's sector-specific gender analysis. Recommendations from these analyses were incorporated into Municipal Gender Action Plans (2024-2026) of six municipalities, focusing on addressing women's needs in employment, education, and agriculture. Overall, progress was achieved in improving the legal and institutional framework for gender equality, evidence-based policymaking, accountability mechanisms, and gender-responsive service provision.
