IFES Ltd. Final Report on Kosovo Voter Education Outreach Project
This report analyzes IFES activities designed to ensure that citizens developed a better conceptual understanding of how a democratic system works and exercised that knowledge by increasing active engagement in local political life. The project's goal was to ensure that a voter education programme was developed focusing on the most fundamental level, villages and small communities without access to television or radio, and that it was carried out by Kosovars themselves.

Measuring and Improving Citizens' Understanding of the Justice System - Public Opinion Survey in Kosovo
This report details the findings from a public opinion survey in Kosovo. The survey was conducted through face-to-face interviews with 1,226 respondents throughout Kosovo between 08 and 26 August 2005. This data has been weighted to be representative of the resident population of Kosovo by region and urban/rural distribution. The objective of the survey was to measure the Kosovo residents’ perceptions and knowledge of the justice sector, including specific legal issues, actors and the court system. USAID’s Justice System Reform Activity in Kosovo conducted a similar survey in 2004, and data from the two surveys is compared in this report to identify trends in the opinion environment in Kosovo. The margin of error for the 2005 survey is plus/minus 2.8%.
