NGO Fractal and Ms. Merel Heijke have the pleasure to invite you to the presentation of the research, “The possible role of the local government in reconstruction”, as a part of the larger program “Strengthening local government capacity for peace building and reconstruction”. The presentation will take place in the Media Center Caglavica on Thursday 28.01.2010 at 10:00 o’clock.

The research was conducted by Merel Heijke (Master student) and supported by NGO Fractal. It is the result of a three month’s in-depth field work in the municipality Strpce/Shtërpcë. The aim of the research was to understand the local situation in terms of reconstruction processes and workings of local government, along with identifying key actors in local governance, issues and opportunities for development.

The aim of this presentation is to share the insights with a small circle of interested stakeholders: representatives of NGO’s, representatives of local authorities and representatives of the international community present in Kosovo. After discussing the findings of the case study we can provide concrete recommendations to the local authorities and the international community in order to help with the development and functioning of the Strpce/ Shtërpcë municipality.
