As most Albanian municipalities have limited capacities in forest management and lack qualified forest staff, CNVP has supported them to improve the situation.

During the first week of June 2018, CNVP organized capacity building activities for forestry staff in Permet Municipality, Gjirokastra Region, focusing on sustainable forest management i.e. updating/revising management plans, implementing annual use plans, and using GPS in forest management.

The event was funded through the Forests for Local Economic Development project that is supported by the Embassy of Sweden in Tirana.
