This involves joint efforts in forest management, controlling illegal activities, and promoting sustainable tourism in the region.

This includes developing better monitoring systems and promoting the cultivation of MAPs on unused land.  
  • Sports Infrastructure: The Albanian Football Association (AFA) and the Gramsh Municipality have a cooperation agreement for the reconstruction of the "Myslym Koçi" stadium, including the renovation of locker rooms and installation of artificial turf. This indicates collaboration on developing sports facilities for the local youth.  
  • Cultural and Youth Initiatives: Gramsh Municipality has collaborated with organizations like YMCA Albania and Italian volunteers to organize summer camps focused on cultural exchange, learning, and community engagement for children and youth. They also partner with the Peace Corps and the Youth Council on initiatives like the "Municipalities for Europe" project, organizing summer camps with educational and recreational activities.

This involves developing new tourism products, improving infrastructure, and strengthening cooperation between stakeholders.
