Within the framework of the project “Empowering women, men and youth living in economically challenging rural areas, to establish sustainable livelihoods through agricultural and food processing activities” donor FRIEDA, a cooperation agreement has been signed with the municipalities of Shtime and Vushtrri. Through this agreement, farmers in these municipalities will be supported with grants in the field of agriculture as well as professional training in the processing sector.

The project will be implemented in partnership and co-financing with the aforementioned municipalities, ensuring joint commitment and coordinated support at all stages of implementation. This cooperation aims to create concrete and sustainable conditions for the active participation of beneficiaries in the agriculture sector and in the processing of agricultural products.

In this way, the project is expected to have a direct impact on improving the economic well-being of beneficiaries and, at the same time, contribute to the socio-economic development of the respective communities through increased employment, economic empowerment, and long-term local development
