| Lessons | |
|---|---|
| 1. | There are a few lessons that UNDP in Kosovo learned from KDDRI evaluation for the future projects: With adequate approach and dedicated staff, it is possible to achieve tangible results even
|
| 2. | For the context of Kosovo with its new institutions the process of delivering certain products/strategies/ documents is even more important than the quality of the deliverables per se; i.e. it is important that the state institutions learn to coordinate and produce strategies/policies themselves rather than by hiring external consultant; this is also the right strategy to boost the national ownership of these products ,With a limited budget, the project managed to achieve impressive results. The project had not only positive impacts on the institutions and regulatory field but also on the lives and livelihoods of the residents (with improved infrastructure and more awareness) and environment. The project was successful introducing the first in the region guide on mainstreaming gender in to DRR with a potential to achieve better gender mainstreaming in DRR in the future. |
| Findings | |
| 1. | The update of the Risk Assessment report for Kosovo and the adopted already regulation of the gender sensitive Post disaster damage assessments are important guiding documents for local municipalities. The majority of the latter have by now learned with the help of the project to conduct better local assessments, drills and public awareness campaigns. The project contributed to the improved coordination between EMA and local municipalities directorates for prevention and rescue through supporting joint training, meetings, and instituting of the DesInventar. This will be an important background to build on once the DRR strategy is formally adopted. With a limited budget, the project managed to achieve impressive results. The project had not only positive impacts on the institutions and regulatory field but also on the lives and livelihoods of the residents (with improved infrastructure and more awareness) and environment. The project was successful introducing the first in the region guide on mainstreaming gender in to DRR with a potential to achieve better gender mainstreaming in DRR in the future.

| Recommendations | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |
|
||
| 2 | Find resources to support the northern municipalities in developing local risk assessment documents: that way all the municipalities in Kosovo would have such assessments. |
||
| 3 | For the future projects proposals ensure that they are well designed with the resources sought commensurate with the objectives; include sustainability-building elements (e.g. through institutionalization of the training in a selected local institutions), and have well designed time bound results chains with clear monitoring frameworks. Ensure that there is monitoring of the use of the products produced in the framework of the projects |
