The Governance and Development Planning Programme, GDPP was funded by Dutch Government and started in 2003 and was completed in 2005. Its objectives were focused on continuing the assistance to further strengthen all three levels of spatial planning in Kosovo reflecting the linkages as required by the Law on Spatial Planning.  It included more intensive capacity building at municipal and central levels to deal with spatial planning in an inclusive manner. The aim was to consolidate the new planning approaches, policies and legislation by making them more inclusive and compatible with countries in the region and in other parts of Europe.
