The Public Pulse II project is a continuation of Public Pulse (initially launched jointly with UNDP in 2010). This project will continue the work on research and analysis of pertinent issues as a watchdog that will constructively engage the Government of Kosovo and public institutions in research. The project is implemented in cooperation with Kosovo institutions to increase capacities for utilization of data and research methodologies for addressing problems and issues, as well as to assure stability and facilitate dialogue between institutions and citizens.

By using evidence of citizen perceptions on current issues, government entities at all levels become more accountable to constituents. The Public Pulse biannual public opinion polls form the basis for Kosovo ministries and other institutions to make informed decisions.  

Results:

• Continuous institutional trends analysis
• Increased interest and responsiveness of governmental and public   institutions in addressing public perception
• Public Pulse Reports: the brief reports are prepared based on biannual opinion poll survey data
• Public Pulse Analysis: the analysis is prepared based on in-depth analysis of the opinion poll data and other sources   
• Action Papers: brief analysis of issues upon selected institutions’ requests based on Public Pulse methodology providing findings, conclusions, and recommendations
• Targeted surveys

Project Duration: January 2014 – January 2017
