Presentation of draft strategy and action plan on the prevention and regularization of informal settlements in Kosovo

As a continuation of the discussion on the draft-strategy, the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning (MESP), together with the UN-HABITAT‘s Municipal Spatial Planning Support Programme (MuSPP) and Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) organized a series of roundtable debates throughout Kosovo from 16-20 May. More than 150 municipal officials and civil society organizations attended who contributed to the fruitful discussion during these debates.

In March 2011, the draft Strategy and Action Plan for Prevention and Regularization of Informal Settlements 2011 – 2015 was officially presented to the public review for 30 days. In order to insure the proper information towards the relevant stakeholders it was decided to organize the roundtables with all Kosovo municipalities

The roundtables aim was to increase awareness at the local level of the importance of regularizing informal settlements and preventing new informal settlements. They provided the opportunity to inform participants on the content of the strategy and action plan and the discussion on future actions needed for its implementation was raised. The roundtables also provided the opportunity to obtain comments and suggestions on the strategy and action plan from participants that serves as an input to the completion of strategy and action plan.
