Enhancing the River Basin Management Planning Framework for Kosovo (Request for Proposals)

Phase 2 (2024-29) of the Integrated Water Resources Management in Kosovo (IWRM-K) Program is designed to take the water sustainability agenda to the next level, seeking to transform the country into a model for resilience and sustainability in managing water resources. The assignment under this RFP provides expertise and capacity development support to the responsible institutions in order to:

• Revise the four River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs) in line with the fourth EU WFD cycle, along with developing detailed basin/national-level action plans for implementing the Programmes of Measures;
• Assist in harmonizing selected policies, strategies and plans as well as in aligning municipal-level planning methodologies with IWRM/RBMPs objectives.

The work will build on and enhance the achievements of Phase 1 (2020-2024) of the Program, and integrate the results of supplementary inputs (thematic studies, newly produced water monitoring results, etc.) generated under Phase 2 implementation.
