About us
The Government of Kosovo has based its strategy on the premise that “public safety is of a paramount concern and that everyone should feel safe in their community and their own home”. Guidance to local authorities aims to ensure coordinated actions to “protect peoples” right to live in confidence and without fear for their own or other peoples’ safety.
Local authorities and police are encouraged to take the lead in building safer communities by establishing local strategic partnerships involving public organizations, the private sector, the civilian sector and voluntary bodies.
The main purpose of the Safer Communities in Kosovo is to assist in developing Safer Community Development Partnerships throughout Kosovo and to provide a framework within which partnerships are encouraged to take community safety forward. The guidance is produced in partnership with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, The Kosovo Police Service, ICITAP and UNDP Kosovo.
