CNVP participated in the 6th stakeholders’ conference held during 14-15 November 2018 in Ohrid, Macedonia that was organized by Drin Corda - Coordinated Action for a Sustainable Future (see www.drincorda.org).

The purpose of the conference was to enhance transboundary cooperation and integrated water resource management in the extended Drin river basin.This hosts about 1.5 million people who rely on its water resources for drinking, agriculture, fisheries, industry, irrigation, hydropower and support for tourism services. 

The basin encompasses a complex ecosystem of major importance that hosts unique biotopes with many indigenous species that are important from European and international conservation perspectives.

This action, supported by GEF, UNDP, UNECE and GWP-Mediterranean, was attended by many stakeholders from countries in the Drin Basin - Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro.

CNVP contributes to the sustainable management of natural resources which directly and indirectly have an impact on economic growth and human prosperity, as well as on the environment and ecosystems.
