HOME AFFAIRS PROGRAMME OF EUROPEAN UNION IN KOSOVO PROJECT (HAPE)

HOME AFFAIRS PROGRAMME OF EUROPEAN UNION IN KOSOVO PROJECT (HAPE) is an EU‑funded technical assistance project conceptualised to support and assist key Kosovo law‑enforcement agencies and ministries, in particular the Kosovo Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA), Kosovo Police (KP) and Kosovo Special Prosecution of Republic of Kosovo (SPRK), in achieving their objectives and bringing their performance closer to EU standards.

TERMS OF REFERENCE

TITLE: Action 2.1.3.2: Support MIA (Department of Public Safety) in drafting the new strategy for Community Safety, 2024‑2029‑and its Action Plan, 2024‑2029

The Grant Contract No. IPA/2022/441510, for the implementation of HAPE project, was awarded by the European Union Office in Kosovo (EUOK) to the Ministry of Interior (MoI) of the Republic of Italy, as the lead partner. MoI of the Republic of France and Belgian Federal Police are the other two implementing partners of the project. The project started the implementation period on 1st of March 2023 and is expected to last for 40 months.

The specific objective number 1 of HAPE is to strengthen the capacities and improve the performance of MIA and its dependent institutions to align effectively with the EU Acquis (Chapter 24). The specific objective number 2 is to strengthen the investigative and operational capacities of KP, SPRK and Kosovo Academy of Public Safety (KAPS) in the fight against Serious Organised Crime (SOC), corruption, terrorism, cyber‑security, forensic, border management, migration, seizure and confiscation of criminal assets and to increase public safety and security.

One of the aims of the HAPE project, under outcome 2 / output 2.1.3 / action 2.1.3.2, is to monitor status of implementation of joint strategic documents in the fight against organised crime, corruption, terrorism, and Public Safety, with the main emphasis in the areas of Community Policing and Community Safety.

Kosovo Strategy on Community Safety, 2018‑2023 expired in 2023 and Kosovo MIA has set up a working group, consisting of different authorities and stakeholders, which will draft the new strategy on Community Safety, 2024‑2029 and its Action Plan, 2024‑2029. There are no monitoring or assessment reports drafted on the implementation of the previous strategy, even though the strategy required that the relevant authorities drafted such reports. Therefore, the information on achievements, shortcomings and gaps of the previous strategy are lacking.

For this reason, HAPE project will recruit and deploy an international short‑term expert (STE) to support the working group (WG) in drafting the new strategy, by assessing the former national strategy on Community Safety and identifying achievements, gaps and shortcomings, identifying main findings, and making recommendations to the WG to take into consideration when drafting the new strategy, reviewing different drafts of the new strategy, including the final draft of the strategy, identifying gaps and shortcomings and proposing recommendations and inputs for the WG.
