Healthier Kosovo

What do we want to achieve?

Kosovo institutions achieve more effective governance in environment and health through inclusive, evidence-based planning, implementation and monitoring of air pollution impacts on health of diverse women and men.

More people adopt behaviors that are healthy and that increase resilience to potential threats from environmental pollution.

Results

· The environment and health committee (EHCo) is reformed to become an active steward of the environment and health agenda in Kosovo

· Baseline data on environmental / air pollution impacts on health /related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and risk exposure of most disadvantaged groups are available.

· Improved capacity on evidence-based and gender-responsive environmental health policy-making

· General population has increased awareness of negative impacts of air pollution on health

· Innovative initiatives that address environmental concerns introduced and implemented.
