The overall objective of the Business Environment Technical Assistance Project is to improve the business environment in Kosovo by reducing uncertainty of key regulatory processes, improving delivery of related services, strengthening property rights, and increasing transparency and accountability of implementing institutions. The project consists of three components. The first, business services integration, will reduce regulatory uncertainty, reduce existing administrative barriers to starting and operating a business, improve the transparency and accountability of regulatory functions administered by municipalities, and facilitate investment. It will fund: (i) establishment of Business Service Centers (BSCs); (ii) rehabilitation of BSC premises; (iii) upgrading of the Kosovo business registration system; and (iv) assistance and capacity building of the Office of Investment Promotion. The second component, immovable property rights enhancement, will help secure immovable property rights as a contribution to land market development and facilitating new business start-ups. This will be accomplished through: (i) technical assistance; (ii) support for the improvement of the new immoveable property rights registration system; (iii) volume of mortgages registered in the new system; (iv) cadastre reconstruction and renewal, and updating; and (v) implementation of a national cadastre of buildings. The third, project coordination and monitoring, aims to build capacity of related project institutions to ensure proper implementation of all activities through strengthening capacity for procurement, financial management, and monitoring and evaluation of results.
