In accordance with Charter of the United Nations and the Millennium Declaration, the UNKT advances the principles of equality and social justice through direct support to Kosovo government, civil society and private sector, by providing technical expertise to meet Kosovo development challenges.
To support Kosovo to socially inclusive development, the UNKT provides policy advice to the Government; helps them to strengthen its institutions for effective implementation of policies to ensure that all people benefit from development; provides technical assistance and a range of other support and services.
The UNKT is a strong partner in providing social and protection services to people in Kosovo, with particular focus on women, children, minorities and returns.
