AICS Tirana works in collaboration with a wide range of partners, governmental and not, local Italian and international, contributing to the implementation of the projects as implementing partners or as part of a consortium, and focusing on single/ specific activities.
Several national ministries are our partners, as in Albania MTKS – Ministry for Tourism, Culture and Sport or MARD – Ministry for Agriculture and Rural Development or MoHSW – Ministry of Health and Social welfare, according with the specific Country Strategy related to the single country in the Region. In Serbia, for instance, some ministries are involved in the programme called “Protocollo Antonione”, relaunched in 2023 in partnership with the Ministry for European Integration and other ministrieis (Agriculture, Forests and water resources, Environmental protection., Education, Science and technological development, Energy and Mines, Health).
