Project Characteristics and Results
Project sustainability
The area into which the project is being implemented is also covered by full size GEF project and has a high profile among protected areas in Albania. Based on the above we think that the chances are high that there will be continuous support in the future in terms of know how transfer as well as financial.
Capacity - Building Component
The project provides an example of the basic activities that have to be undertaken in protected areas including their promotion for attracting sustainable tourism. The hands on practice in planning and building the activities and structures (sign posts, bird watch tower, education center) creates these capacities for the first time.
