HOME AFFAIRS PROGRAMME OF EUROPEAN UNION IN KOSOVO PROJECT (HAPE) 

Grant contract no. IPA 2022/441510

TERMS OF REFERENCE

Contract number 20/2024…. HAPE

 

TITLE: Action 2.1.3.2: Support MIA (Department of Public Safety) in drafting the new strategy for Community Safety, 2024-2029- and its Action Plan, 2024-2029 

Home Affairs Programme of European Union in Kosovo, or HAPE, as is known by its acronym, is an EU-funded technical assistance project conceived to support and assist key Kosovo law-enforcement agencies and ministries, in particular the Kosovo Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA), Kosovo Police (KP), Kosovo Special Prosecution of Republic of Kosovo (SPRK), in achieving their objectives and bringing their performance closer to EU standards. 

The Grant Contract No. IPA/2022/441510, for the implementation of HAPE project, was awarded by the European Union Office in Kosovo (EUOK) to the Ministry of Interior (MoI) of the Republic of Italy, as the lead partner. MoI of the Republic of France and Belgian Federal Police are the other two implementing partners of the project. The project started the implementation period on the 1st of March 2023 and is expected to last for 40 months. 

The specific objective number 1 of HAPE is to strengthen the capacities and improving performance of MIA and its dependent institutions to align effectively with the EU Acquis (Chapter 24). The specific objective number 2 is to strengthen the investigative and operational capacities of the KP, SPRK and Kosovo Academy of Public Safety (KAPS) in the fight against Serious Organized Crime (SOC), corruption, terrorism, cyber-security, forensic, border management, migration, seizure and confiscation of criminal assets and to increase public safety and security.

 

One of the aims of the HAPE project, under outcome 2 / output 2.1.3 / action 2.1.3.2, is to monitor status of implementation of joint strategic documents in the fight against organized crime, corruption, terrorism, and Public Safety, with the main emphasis in the areas of Community Policing and Community Safety.

Kosovo Strategy on Community Safety, 2018-2023 expired in 2023 and Kosovo MIA has set up a working group, consisting of different authorities and stakeholders, which will draft the new strategy on Community Safety, 2024-2029 and its Action Plan, 2024-2029. There are no monitoring or assessment reports drafted on the implementation of the previous strategy, even though the strategy required that the relevant authorities drafted such reports. Therefore, the information on achievements, shortcomings and gaps of the previous strategy are lacking. 

For this reasons, HAPE project will recruit and deploy an international short-term expert (STE) to support the working group (WG) in drafting the new strategy, by assessing the former national strategy on Community Safety and identifying achievements, gaps, and shortcomings, identifying main findings, and making recommendations to the WG to take into consideration when drafting the new strategy, reviewing different drafts of the new strategy, including the final draft of the strategy, identifying gaps and shortcomings and proposing recommendations and inputs for the WG.
