Cybersecurity, in particular, is highlighted as an essential component of the e-governance strategy to safeguard government organizations and systems from potential cyber threats.
Outcomes : The expected outcome of the project is a more efficient and citizen-centric delivery of public services in Kosovo. This will be achieved through several key outputs, including improved interoperability of government systems, disaster recovery and business continuity solutions, and shared platforms.
