KDG is  responsible  to  plan  and  implement,  at  the  Regional  and  Municipal l evel,  the  DOR  responsibilities (

KDG course of action
In order to accomplish his task KDG carried out the following actions:
- Running around to every actor playing a role in reconstruction activities (going from Municipalities to KFOR and
to Regional Administrations ) KDG  managed  to  produce  a  huge amount of finished,  ongoing  and   unfounded projects. All of these have been put in  a overall database  known as
RIMS -(Reconstruction Intervention Monitoring System)

- A sort of database, called
PRIP - (Public Reconstruction and Investment Program), has been  created  by  KDC'
at regional level. It consist in asmaller data base then
RIMS made up of unfounded projects. This PRIP  has  been
sent to DOR with the aim of allowing the central departments to fit these prioitized projects into the  2001  budget plan.

- Apart from the feedback on this
PRIP 2001 exercise, which in process and has not finished (Donors - EU pillar  meeting will take place the next 26th of February),it is clear that a new PRIP 2002 is expecting  for  the  incoming fiscal year.
PRIP 2002 guidlines (draft)
Produce fewer projects than last year, but of higher quality.Fit them properly into the municipal and general plans.
Obtain a general framework sector be sector, Region by Region to allow Central Authority  to  have  a  clear  idea about "
municipalities needs in term of reconstruction" and better manage the related activities.
What we are  waiting for ?
We strongly believe that everything can help us increase our possibilities to prepare a stunning  new  PRIP  2002.
According to this statement we need to receive every possible relevant information to set out a list of municipality
needs. So we are ready to collect and bring together every suggestion or personal vision concerning  how  to  set projects and prioritizer them, in order to make all them suitable for receiving funds.
