Accelerating Green Recovery in Kosovo through Ecotourism and Inclusive Governance

The focus of the project will be on greening Kosovo’s tourism sector through public-private partnerships, coherent policy and a resilient and agile tourism strategy based on the principles of environmental, social and economic sustainability, and through a green accelerator programme for training the tourism MSMEs and implementing pilot projects in the short-term.This proposed intervention provides an opportunity for Kosovo to build back greener through nature-based solutions for tourism that will have a direct impact in preservation of its rich environmental and cultural heritage. Accelerating green economic recovery in Kosovo is also a significant opportunity to build upon the momentum created by an increasing public awareness on the environmental degradation in Kosovo. In the medium-term, the aim is to develop the sector as a catalytic pillar in the national green economy, creating employment, improving gender equality and increasing innovative enterprise creation in tourist regions.
