Albania Environmental Services Project

General

The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to support sustainable land management practices and increase communities’ monetary and non-monetary benefits, in targeted Project areas which are mainly in erosion prone rural upland areas. This PDO is to be achieved through the support of alternative livelihoods and provision of environmental services and through sustainable utilization of wood and pasture products in the long term. The Project will particularly focus on enhancing the financial, economic, and institutional sustainability of land use and natural resources management, and will help build capacities of Albania farmers, community organizations and government institutions to efficiently use EU funding. The Project will also promote gender equity.
