Background | |||||||||||||
Healthier Kosovo Project is a joint initiative implemented by the United Nations Development Programe (UNDP), World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Volunteers (UNV), funded by the Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The project aims to reduce the environment-related disease burden on Kosovo population’s health and support the transition to a more resilient society in the face of environmental health threats, including air pollution, COVID-19-related waste in health facilities, and climate change impacts on health. The project will support Kosovo institutions to have effective governance in environment and health with inclusive evidence-based planning, implementation and monitoring of air pollution impacts on health as well as support people to adopt behaviors that are healthy and that increase resilience to potential threats from environmental pollution. This will be achieved through the provision of technical assistance and capacity development to the institutions relevant to environment and health issues thereby accelerating the legal implementation. The project also focuses on capacities and strengthening of awareness of local Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to be able to influence policymaking through innovative solutions. One of the project's main objectives is to support the development of Local Air Pollution Reduction Plans, (LARPs) Strategies and Tools to minimize exposure to air pollution and contribute to the overall air quality management in pilot municipalities. Drafting of LARPs is made a requirement with the Draft Law on Air Protection. Policy frameworks at the local level are limited and there is a need for addressing local contributors to air pollution. Without long-term, strategic actions in place, air pollution will remain a significant challenge resulting in hundreds of premature deaths and other negative social and economic effects. There are no local air pollution reduction plans in place at the local level, most of which are associated with a lack of financial, human, and technical resources. UNDP Kosovo is committed to supporting local level institutional governance in tackling air pollution through the provision of technical assistance and capacity development. To this end, the project aims to engage a local consultant that will support the working groups of the municipalities of Fushë Kosovë/ Kosovo Polje and Obiliq/ Obilic in drafting and finalizing of the Local Air Pollution Reduction Plans (LARPs) in alignment with national strategies and frameworks. The assignment, in addition to enabling the drafting of LARPs, aims to provide local civil servants with the necessary knowledge to develop air pollution reduction plans, strategies, and tools using learning and international best practices. In addition to the development of LARPs, the engagement entails delivering a capacity building workshop on the development of these frameworks and supporting the international consultant in desk research, data collection and analysis.
