The overall goal is to support the Government of Albania (GoA) in implementing the EU Gender Equality Acquis. Main stakeholders are the Ministry of Social Welfare and Youth, the National Council for Gender Equality, the Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of European Integration. Activities focus on increasing the absorption capacity through coaching, training, guidance and advice; the use of gender statistics; and preparation of draft proposals for submission to the EU.

Direct beneficiaries are primarily government staff, incl. sector working groups, gender equality employees and EUD task managers. The total number of direct beneficiaries can be estimated to be 160 individuals.
