About 30 representatives from 16 municipalities in the southern region participated in the last information session organized in Vlora. During this meeting, the EU for Municipalities team presented the objectives, priority areas and criteria and application procedures in the second call of the grant scheme, reiterating that this call will support up to 15 municipalities with grants from 20,000 Euros up to 50,000 Euros, of which up to 70% will be dedicated to public investments.
An important point of this meeting was the development of a training session focused on managing and writing a successful project proposal. This training session helped the representatives of the municipalities to increase their capacity and knowledge in writing projects according to the rules and criteria of the European Union.
This training cycle was organized by the EU for Municipalities together with the project team “Municipalities for Europe” in order to increase the knowledge and capacity of Albanian municipalities to write and obtain funding from foreign and EU donors.
The “EU for Municipalities” project is a new project funded by the European Union, which has the overall objective of helping the development potential of municipalities in Albania and contributing to improving the socio-economic and environmental conditions of local communities in Albania, through investment grants to municipalities.
