BIRN Kosovo Continues Media Training for Auditors

Posted on

BIRN Kosovo held its second and third media communication training sessions with the staff of the National Audit Office in Pristina on March 12 and March 13, as part of a project aimed at increasing transparency and accountability over the management of public funds.

Supported by the embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Pristina, the training courses are intended to improve the performance of the Auditor General and National Audit Office staff in reporting and providing information on public spending.

During the training, the executive director of Internews Kosova and the producer and director of the ‘Life in Kosovo’ TV show, Faik Ispahiu, gave insights into how to organise a public presentation, including arranging the space, assigning tasks, preparing speeches, and creating a presentation plan.

The training was followed by a technical exercise showing how to use a prompter during public appearances.

BIRN Kosovo will provide the National Audit Office staff with one more training session, aimed at improving the performance of the Auditor General and National Audit Office staff during public appearances, as well as on social media.
