KosovaPAR2024 CONFERENCE

Following the inaugural conference held in Prishtina on 22-24 November 2023, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kosova will organize #KosovaPAR2024 from 25-27 September 2024 in Prishtina.

The evolution of KosovaPAR into an annual conference underscores our commitment to convene political leadership, academics, and practitioners from Kosova, the region, Europe, and beyond to deliberate on critical issues and share insights and best practices pertaining to public administration reforms. This annual gathering seeks to elevate awareness regarding the pivotal role of Public Administration Reform (PAR), not only as a prerequisite for EU integration but also in enhancing citizens' lives and state effectiveness.

The primary objective of this recurring event is to foster a culture of innovation within public service and administration, as well as to instil a mindset of continual adaptation to evolving citizen expectations concerning the quality of public services. As a proactive step towards transformative progress, this conference aspires to assess past accomplishments, envision innovative strategies to address current challenges in 2024, and chart the future trajectory of public administration in Kosova and beyond. Central to this endeavour is the question of whether Kosova and other cases are merely striving to align with international standards or actively pioneering innovative approaches towards excellence, which will guide discussions of past reforms, their impact assessment, and the formulation of future reform agendas.

While the Republic of Kosova seeks insights and best practices from global counterparts, the conference will also serve as a platform for showcasing solutions implemented by Kosova to advance key reforms in public administration, emphasizing the significance of ownership and political legitimacy in navigating necessary albeit arduous reforms.

Thus, positioned as a pivotal forum for exploring and advancing the trajectory of public administration reform in the country, and themed "Catching Up or Forging Ahead," the KosovaPAR2024 conference holds the promise of valuable insights and inspiring perspectives for practical solutions of public sphere issues.

We invite institutions, academics, and practitioners from across the globe to submit panel proposals on the following topics (non-exhaustive list):

  • Culture in Public Administration (administrative culture, artistic perspectives)
  • Optimizing Human Resources in the Public Sector
  • Harnessing Digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence for the Common Good
  • Enacting Legislative Reforms for Effective Governance
  • Fostering Inter/Intra Institutional Cooperation and Public-Private Partnerships to Drive Innovation
  • Evaluating the Role of Donors and International Organisations in Facilitating Reforms.

Your contributions will play a vital role in shaping the discourse and outcomes of #KosovaPAR2024.
