Luxembourg's development cooperation - Annual report 2018

Following the signature of the new bilateral cooperation agreement in October 2016 and the formulation of new projects in various sectors in 2017, 2018 saw the launch of projects in the fields of European integration and technical and vocational training and the formulation of the new phase of support for the health sector. Implementation of the EBRD project to provide advice to small and medium-sized enterprises in Kosovo began at the start of 2018, as did the joint UNDP/WHO/UNV project on the links between pollution and health and the project by the German development bank KfW to develop the urban heating network in the capital, Pristina. The other interventions, especially the major support for civil society in Kosovo, hit their stride. Finally, in 2018 it was decided to increase the financial budget allocated to the maternal health programme implemented by UNICEF and to explore the possibility of providing support to the Kosovar Ministry of Innovation.
