Deep Understanding of EU Programs: We need partners who possess a thorough knowledge of relevant EU funding instruments available to municipalities in pre-accession countries like Albania (e.g., IPA - Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance). This includes understanding the specific priorities, eligibility criteria, and application processes for various calls.
Experience in Proposal Writing and Project Cycle Management: Partners should have a proven track record in developing successful EU project proposals. This includes the ability to articulate clear project objectives, define measurable indicators, develop realistic work plans and budgets, and ensure compliance with EU regulations throughout the project lifecycle (design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation).
Technical Expertise Relevant to Priority Sectors: We are looking for partners with technical expertise in areas that are crucial for Gramsh's development and often prioritized by EU funding, such as:
Sustainable Tourism: Expertise in developing eco-tourism initiatives, valorizing cultural and natural heritage, improving tourism infrastructure, and marketing strategies.

Environmental Protection: Expertise in waste management, water and wastewater treatment, biodiversity conservation, and climate change adaptation and mitigation measures.
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy: Knowledge in implementing energy-efficient solutions in public buildings and promoting the use of renewable energy sources.
Social Inclusion and Community Development: Expertise in developing projects that address the needs of vulnerable groups, promote social cohesion, enhance educational and cultural opportunities, and foster youth engagement.

2. Collaborative Approach and Local Knowledge:

This includes being receptive to local knowledge, engaging with the community, and tailoring project proposals to address our unique circumstances.

Commitment to Capacity Building: We are looking for partners who are willing to invest in building the capacity of the Gramsh Municipality staff in areas related to EU project development and management, ensuring the long-term sustainability of our efforts.
