Kosovo : Poverty Assessment, Volume 1. Main Report
As Kosovo goes beyond the emergency
relief phase, taking into consideration the situation of
those that the conflict has left behind is vital to the
effectiveness of any strategy for economic development. The
study is designed to inform the current policy debate in the
area of poverty alleviation, and social service delivery,
and to include these in the Joint Interim Administrative
Structure (JIAS), the World Bank, and other donors
perspectives. Within the definition of poverty as a
multidimensional force that extends beyond low levels of
income, the report covers a wide range of issues, including
consumption, income, education, health, and social
protection. It is predominantly based on data from the
Living Standard Measurement Survey, statistically
representative of both the Albanian, and Serb population,
though not of other ethnic groups. The study comprises two
volumes, the first one reviews background information, and
data to examine the extent of poverty in Kosovo, the role of
food aid, and identifies the correlates of extreme poverty.
Poverty is analyzed versus income sources, and social
assistance, and against inequality in educational
attainments, and access to health care, to lay the
foundation for building a strategy for poverty alleviation.
Based on the profile of poverty in Kosovo, the second volume
discusses the consumption poverty profile, and factors
affecting the risk of extreme poverty, to challenge building
an effective social protection strategy. Conclusions
indicate that to avoid an increase in poverty, economic
growth should increase the share of income derived from
wages, and the JIAS must increase assistance to households
not able to participate in the economy.
