Since the establishment of UNMIK in 1999, international development
partners organized countless technical training programmes for Kosovan
civil servants and politicians for a more effective, accountable and
participatory governance.
The piecemeal approach to training driven by uncoordinated donor assistance, lack of a clearly defined training policy at the central level, an absence of formulated objectives, etc., has led, in part, to training programmes that are often based excessively on supply instead of demand. Given Kosovo's complex transition to a modern, democratic system of governance, it is not surprising that current, conventional approaches to civil servants training are insufficient.
The CDF Project promotes innovative knowledge management techniques
and ensures that CDF Coaches and Advisors are well equipped to build
the leadership and technical skills of government counterparts.
By introducing concepts of value based leadership, change management, results based management etc., coaches and advisors have had an opportunity to show tangible results within a very short time.
Well thought out strategies, realistic goals and time-frames,
improved performance, quality outputs, accountability, better
cooperation with other national and international counterpart, are just
some examples of how CDF clients can benefit from the assistance on
offer.
CDF Project seeks to promote a “change-oriented, reform mind-set” by motivating and building skills to help establish a professional civil service capable of formulating and guiding the implementation of policy and institutional reforms, while fostering a de-politicized culture of accountability.
