Healthier Kosovo

Healthier Kosovo

What do we want to achieve?

Kosovo institutions achieve more effective governance in environment and health through inclusive, evidence-based planning, implementation and monitoring of air pollution impacts on health of diverse women and men.

More people adopt behaviors that are healthy and that increase resilience to potential threats from environmental pollution.

· Baseline data on environmental / air pollution impacts on health /related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and risk exposure of most disadvantaged groups are available.

· Improved capacity on evidence-based and gender-responsive environmental health policy-making

· General population has increased awareness of negative impacts of air pollution on health
