The US State Department, on January 24th, ordered the freeze of new funding for almost all US international aid programmes that were implemented mainly through the American Agency for International Development, USAID.
The GAP Institute said that in Kosovo this decision by US President Donald Trump affects about 17 active projects funded by USAID that make significant contributions to the country's development.

Key beneficiaries include public institutions such as municipalities, ministries, independent agencies, universities, courts, as well as media, private sector and civil society organisations”, GAP said.
The institute has also published a table of active U projects AID in Kosovo:
