Project Detail |
Albanian citizens are likely to continue to emigrate for employment, which will have a major impact on the countrys development. Therefore, it is important to provide valid alternatives of employment in the country, especially in those areas experiencing a massive tourism inflow in recent years. The aim of this project is to enable local governments to effectively manage migration and diaspora matters. This includes a focus on promoting employment for internal migrants, reintegrating returned migrants, and encouraging diaspora investments, while strengthening interinstitutional coordination and migration stakeholders’ engagement, all the while reshaping the narrative on migration. The project will support central and local institutions in Albania to develop, strengthen capacities, and pilot the legal, administrative, and operational procedures for internal migration, return and reintegration, and diaspora engagement aiming to increase employment opportunities for the Albanian workforce, while supporting the interinstitutional cooperation of local and central government agencies, vertical and horizontal coordination and changing the narrative on migration targeting the public at large with a special focus on the young generations and their self-improvement/empowerment. The project will also ensure gender mainstreaming and inclusion of minority groups, promoting inclusivity and diversity in the relevant practices. |
