Résultats

Principaux résultats antérieurs:  

SAEK initiated with a pilot phase of its component 2 – civil society/social media, when UNDP together with a consortium of local organisations lead by InternewsKosova (I/KS) and the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN) developed the web-based platform www.kallxo.com which couples modern and traditional technologies, allowing all citizens across Kosovo to report cases of corruption. A “Research Unit”, composed of six researchers and investigative journalists, was established to verify and follow up on the reported cases. Until February 2013, approx. 340 cases were reported on the platform out of which 70 cases were sent to the State Prosecution.
