Albania
The Joint SDG Fund is working on a transformative initiative in Albania to enhance job creation and strengthen social protection systems. The joint programme focuses on creating green and digital jobs and advancing skills development in key economic sectors. This effort supports people with disabilities, women, and youth, particularly in rural areas, promoting inclusive growth and development.
Aligned with Albania's goal of EU integration, the joint programme aims to establish a sustainable Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF), with a particular emphasis on the National Compulsory Training Fund. This approach ensures that resources are effectively mobilized to support ongoing development progress, fostering a more inclusive and resilient economic environment.
