The objective of the tender is to “support 10 selected municipalities in digitising data and producing base maps of the current land use as a basis for the elaboration of new land use/zoning maps in accordance with the new Law No. 04/L-174 on Spatial Planning”. This is part of the the project “Strengthening Spatial Planning and Land Management in Kosovo” (PN: 2016.2233.1) that the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in Kosovo will implement on behalf of the Bundesministeriums für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ). The objective of the project is for municipal and national institutions perform their spatial planning tasks better in Kosovo. The project aims to support municipal and national institutions in performing their tasks in the field of spatial planning. This should reduce the continuing illegal settlement of agricultural land and counteract the fragmentation of land ownership and use structures. The project will contribute to development in rural areas by maintaining valuable agricultural land in Kosovo and increasing agricultural productivity. Here it will apply 2 connected approaches. First, it will support the introduction of a legal framework that is necessary for effective land management. Second, it will build capacities within the municipal administrations in order to strengthen them in elaborating building plans and revising municipal development plans using the SPAK database. Wide-area zoning and regulation and/or restriction of land use are essential requirements for securing permanent increases in agricultural efficiency by consolidating plots of land.
