We’re excited to share that the Kosovo Labor Market Barometer is back online, stronger, and more accessible than ever! After moving to a new server and installing an SSL certificate, this essential tool is ready to serve the public again. It’s now available through eKosova, bringing government services directly to your fingertips.

Owned by the Kosovo Government and expertly managed by the Employment Agency of the Republic of Kosovo, the barometer represents a significant leap forward in labor market analysis. The initial development phase was made possible through the generous support of UNDP Kosovo and the Helvetas-EYE Project. The latest upgrade and expansion into the Kosovo Labor Market Barometer, along with real-time data interoperability, has been championed by the ALLED2 project, proudly funded by the European Union in Kosovo (EU) with co-funding from the Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC) and implementation by the Austrian Development Agency (ADA).

Why is this a success story? Let us count the ways:

The barometer seamlessly integrates data from 12 national databases in real-time, a milestone in interoperability.
It marks a measurable advancement, building upon previous efforts by various projects and taking them to new heights.
The development process was fully aligned with the Employment Agency of the Republic of Kosovo, ensuring that it meets the country’s specific needs.
Now fully managed by the Kosovo Government, the barometer is available to the general public through eKosova, demonstrating the commitment to transparency and accessibility.

Featuring gender-disaggregated data as a gender-transformative tool, the Kosovo Labor Market Barometer is accessible in three languages—Albanian, Serbian, and English—ensuring it’s usable across diverse communities. Explore the barometer at sitp.rks-gov.net.

While there’s always room for improvement in the individual databases feeding into the Kosovo Labor Market Barometer, this tool is already proving invaluable. It provides the government and donor community with a powerful means of identifying areas for support, enhancing data management systems, and ultimately contributing to data-driven decision-making and smart governance.

This isn’t just a system—it’s proof of successful collaboration and a brighter future for Kosovo’s labor market.
