On 23 April 2026, SHER, in cooperation with the University “Fehmi Agani” in Gjakova (UFAGJ), organized an initial workshop to launch the Strategic Planning process and the preparation of the Self-Evaluation Report (SER) as part of the institutional accreditation process.

The Rector Drilon Bunjaku underlined the critical importance of these processes for strengthening the university’s long-term strategic direction and ensuring robust, sustainable quality assurance. On the other side, Mr. Aqim Emurli reaffirmed SHER’s commitment to supporting UFAGJ throughout the entire process, while also emphasizing the broader importance of strategic development and institutional accreditation for future development of the university. In this regard, he highlighted SHER’s readiness to provide tailored support in line with the signed MoUs, as well as the availability of earmarked funds of SHER to facilitate these processes.

The workshop was facilitated by SHER expert Prof. Dr. Bujar Pira, who presented the methodology and a clear roadmap for both the strategic planning process and the development of the SER, ensuring a structured and coherent approach. The next phase will include a stakeholder workshop focused on defining clear strategic priorities and objectives for the Strategic Plan 2026–2030.
