63 representatives of ten partner municipalities of the European Union and Councel of Europe ROMACTED II programme in Albania concluded the consecutive stage of the training on capacity building programme on Roma Responsive budgeting. A series of training sessions, organised from 7-10 September in Gjirokaster and Pogradec, aimed at supporting their capacities in monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of Roma Local Action plans.

Participants were introduced with the Monitoring and Evaluation Guide, the user friendly version of the Roma Responsive Budgeting Guideline and Roma Responsive Human Resources at Local Level. They further scheduled the dates for the preparation of the monitoring reports of the approved Local Action Plans on Roma and Egyptian minorities 2019-2022 and agreed on their respective roles and responsibilities within each municipality. ROMACTED facilitators will continue to drive these processes at local level.

The national trainings were organised by the Albanian School of Public Administration (ASPA), Institute of Romani Culture in Albania (IRCA) and supported by the joint European Union and Council of Europe ROMACTED II programme.
