Overview

USAID's assistance to Kosovo started in mid-1999 at the conclusion of the conflict that expelled Milosevic's regime from Kosovo and established an internationally administered region, administered by the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). It has continued through Kosovo’s declaration of independence on February 17, 2008. During and immediately after the 1999 conflict, large amounts of humanitarian assistance were provided to house, feed, and tend to the basic needs of an enormous number of displaced people. The humanitarian assistance was followed by programs to restore civil and economic life in Kosovo and assist in creating the institutions of self-government. Since 1999, over $1.2 billion in U.S. assistance has been committed to the reconstruction of Kosovo and to building self-governing institutions and a viable economy. USAID has supported UNMIK and Kosovo government institutions and has also helped the private sector develop. USAID remains engaged with Kosovo in the areas of democratic governance, community development, and economic growth.
