CNVP held an internal workshop in Skopje from 12-16 December 2017 for all its staff.

Participants discussed CNVP’s strategic objectives until 31 December 2020, as well as the organisation’s financial targets and main priorities for 2018.

Meetings were also held with CNVP’s management team, employee council and supervisory board.

Representatives of the Network of Associations of Local Authorities of South-East Europe (NALAS, www.nalas.eu) contributed to a brainstorming session to identify cooperation possibilities between NALAS and CNVP.

During the week, a Swedish consultant supported CNVP Albania (via Skype) to construct a results’ based monitoring matrix for a new local economic development project expected to start implementation in the second half of 2018.
