SDG National Commitments Form: Submission #63

Please outline briefly the commitment(s) made in the areas outlined above Kosovo is recommitting to seven years of an accelerated and transformative action to deliver on the promise of sustainable development, focusing on four key policy priorities:
- Leaving No One Behind: Kosovo is committed to reducing its poverty rate from 25% to 19% by 2027, through the delivery of timely and quality health services, and enhancement of an equitable and adaptable social safety net with improved targeting accuracy and coverage of the poor.
- Acceleration of the Transition to Energy Renewables: Kosovo aims to increase its renewable energy capacity from 279 MW to 1600 MW by 2030, complemented by plans to expand a minimum of 170 MW of battery storage capacity into the national energy power system.
- Digital Transformation: By 2027, Kosovo aims to digitalize 65% of public services for both citizens and businesses, with the goal of equipping 80% of the adult population with basic digital skills by 2030.
- Transforming Education: Kosovo is committed to significant reforms in its education system, allocating 4-6% of the GDP and 15-20% of public expenditure to education by 2027. This aligns with increasing the inclusion rates in early childhood education and for children with special needs, as well as boosting the enrolment rates of marginalised children in compulsory and upper secondary education.
