UNKT Theme Groups
A number of mechanisms have been established to facilitate inter-agency coordination and support the collective action. At senior management level, the Heads of the UN Agencies members of the UNKT meet on regular basis (monthly) to discuss collaborative activities, share information on individual agencies’ programmes and set policies and priorities. Three inter-agency thematic groups comprised of technical staff- are established to focus on collective interventions in specific areas, as following: a) human rights and gender theme group; b) HIV/AIDS and c) UN Communications and Advocacy, and d) statistical thematic group recently established.
Ad Hoc inter-agency working groups are formed when necessary to work on specific joint interventions.
The UNKT works in partnership with Kosovo Government as well as other relevant stakeholders, such as the civil society, the private sector and other international organizations in support to policy processes that address the identified development priorities and assists the governmental sector and non-governmental sector in meeting the globally agreed development objectives as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
In addition, UNKT builds strong partnership with Kosovo civil society to strengthen the civil society in its dialogue with and monitor of the government and in its role in ensuring Kosovo’s well being.
