ROCHESTER INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN KOSOVO Master of Public Administration Program Strategic Priorities for Professional Sports Infrastructure in Kosova Presented by: Fatmir KABASHI Fatmir.Kabashi@ks-gov.net Tel: +377 44 157 042 May 16, 2011, Prishtina American University in Kosovo - AUK
Executive Summary 1 Serious shortfall in sporting facilities Lack of investments in sports infrastructure Strategy on the development of sports infrastructure Government support for new sports infrastructure About 96 Million Euros for five years period Next 5 years an annual average of 19 Mill. High construction costs and insufficient budgets, investments through P.P.P.
Strategy mission & goals 2 Support from Kosova Government Coordination of key stakeholders Financial means for implementation Implementation of strategic priorities Continuous implementation monitoring Work on arranging strategic priorities for following periods
Kosova s Sports Facilities 1980-2004 3 Quantity and functionality of sports facilities precondition for its development Main sport objects built during the end of the '70s and beginning of the '80s Small budgets at the Sports Department Investments in partial renovations Demands for new sports infrastructure facilities are increasing everyday
Latest investments & problems 4 Only in 2005 MCYS allocated more budgets for building new sports facilities Allocated funds not utilized accordingly New indoor sport halls with following gaps: geo-mechanical tests of construction site project design for implementation professional review of project design issuance of building permits insufficient allocated budgets
Allocated Budgets 80s & Latest 5 Year Overall Kosova Budget Budget for MCYS Budget for Sports Infrastructure % of State budget - Sports Infrastr. % of MCYS budget Sports Infrastr. 1981 N/A N/A 1985 N/A N/A 2010 1,1 Billion 2011 1,4 Billion (1.1%) 12,4 Million (0.9%) 13,1 Million 55 Million Dinars 96 Million Dinars 3,4 Million 3,5 Million 0.20 % N/A 0.14 % N/A 0.30 % 27.4 % 0.24 % 26 % *Data sources: Statistical yearbook of 1983; MFE & MCYS data on budgets 2010-2011
Reasoning for New Strategy 6 The absence of a middle and long-term strategy on sports infrastructure MCYS s work with short term programs Projects approval on ad-hoc basis and with lots of improvisations Projects can t start nor end timely Considerable amounts of budget are not realized returned as surplus at the MFE Bad mirror for the Sports Department looks like needs & demands are small
Objectives of Capstone Project 7 Increase the overall awareness on investment needs & requests Future investments planned accordingly Proper project designs and documentation Necessary preconditions for the allocated budget realization Ensure accountability and reliability of investments
