Kosovo Interior Minister Zenun Pajaziti, and Frode Mauring, resident representative of UNDP in Kosovo signed a transfer agreement of equipment for fighting fires to the amount of $150,000.

This donation, which is part of the wider project of Emergency Reaction against Fires in Kosovo, will include operational equipment that will increase efficiency in preventing fires and putting out fires like uniforms for firemen, mobile equipment for weather measurement, GPS and radio equipment.

UNDP Resident Representative, Frode Mauring said on this occasion: “Kosovo is facing huge challenges in the area of disaster management and emergency response. These include the remaining challenges to complete the operational functioning of the crisis management structures and cooperation with regional emergency structures. I believe that today’s transfer of the equipment that in part is presented here should be seen as a small but important symbol of our ongoing and future cooperation”.

Since 1999, UNDP has gained the reputation as a strong and independent partner in the aim to rebuild Kosovo. The primary aim of UNDP is the reduction of poverty by helping promotion of economic growth. The organization also tries to build the strength of Kosovo institutions, to raise the security of citizens and improve environmental sustainability. All programs stress the role of partnership and use, wherever it's possible, local expertise to secure solutions suitable for Kosovo.
