Actual situation in Kosovo regarding regional development suffers in many directions. Policies and strategies actually leave a gap, whilst most of regions and municipalities lack the capacities to create an effective environment for private sector development and job creation. There as well is dissatisfaction among stakeholders regarding the functioning of existing regional development model, structures and processes. The paper aims to establish new model and approach for balanced regional economic development based on balanced distribution of responsibilities between the central and local government levels with clear roles and responsibilities. This model will serve as one stop shop at regions supporting the business development and increasing employability in the country.

Abstract: This study aims to investigate the critical perception of PCP's UFSCar Management Course at the Natural Sciences Center, from the perspective of the actors most directly involved with this instrument. Based on the assumptions of the interpretative paradigm, we used a qualitative and exploratory research model. As a data collection instrument, we employed document analysis, questionnaires and participant observation. The main results show that, in general, Educational Program Planning (PPE) translates into an important tool for academic management. However, they revealed the need for greater emphasis on the dissemination of this instrument in the academic community. Nevertheless, the functionality and consolidation of the EPP's proposed methodology requires from all stakeholders an academic management effort with clear objectives, guided by a practical agenda built and practiced by many hands. Nevertheless, it is necessary to update this instrument frequently, especially with regard to nomenclatures - an emblematic fact that the case of "Strategic Planning" changes to "Business Strategy" or "Company Strategy" - and the respective disciplines, always considering the demands and profiles of the market for which the student is being prepared. In short, academic management, seen in this light, needs a redesign of its implementation processes, especially with regard to the control and construction of formal channels to measure the results of the implemented model, thus generating conditions that feed the system and constantly improve it.

However, there was a notable improvement for Rwanda development board (RDB), Rwanda biomedical center (RBC) and Rwanda transport development agency (RTDA). Regarding to unnecessary or unlawful expenditures, and whether there was embezzlement or squandering of public funds, there has been 68% decline in the Article 166 type of expenditure from Frw 17.6 billion (2016) to Frw 5.68 billion (2018). The biggest decline has been under “Unsupported expenditure” which has declined by 92% from Frw 6.9bln (2016) to Frw 0.6 billion (2018). Therefore, this is indicative of an improvement in public financial management (PFM) systems and controls when it comes to recording and accounting for expenditure.
