President Vjosa Osmani and USAID Director in Kosovo, Zeinah Salahi, today signed the third Amendment 3 of the Development Objectives Grant Agreement with the United States, which provides the Republic of Kosovo with an additional $ 3 million, increasing the total grant to over 41 million US dollars. This agreement aims at better service to citizens by accountable and effective governance institutions, as well as increasing opportunities for inclusive democratic and economic participation.
It also aims the improvement and cooperation between citizens, civil society, businesses and the public sector so that local communities have a more favorable position to address Kosovo’s development challenges. This agreement was originally signed by President Osmani in November 2020, with which Kosovo has received $ 33 million from USAID. In May of this year, amendment 1 of the agreement was signed, which provides Kosovo with an additional financial means in the amount of 1.6 million US dollars.
