Historique

UNDP is committed into two very important projects jointly with the Ministry of Tourism and Environment (MoTE) which address assistance in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management, as well as strengthening the capacities and equipping the human resource, namely National Agency of Protected Areas (NAPA) and Regional Administration of Protected Areas (RAPAs), dedicated to protected areas management and administration with tools and know how that enhance the financial sustainability.

Through the Italian Agency for Cooperation and Development (AICS) / the Italian government support, the project on Improving coverage and effectiveness management of Marine and Coastal Protected Areas (MCPA) Phase II, implemented targeting Karaburun-Sazan Marine Park, as an essential complement to its network of terrestrial PAs and contributes to Albania’s obligations under different UN Conventions and the EU accession process. In the meantime, the project is applying a BIO-GIS Master Plan tool to increase nature protection and manage economic values of biodiversity.

The other project financed by GEF, Ministry of Tourism and Environment and UNDP, intends to improve the overall management effectiveness of the country’s system of protected areas, addressing the gaps existing with the current funding for the PA system, and the capacities to administer and improve PA revenue streams. Therefore, the MoTE and its agencies are making concerted efforts to secure sufficient, stable and long-term financial resources for protected areas; to allocate these resources in a timely manner and appropriate form to cover the full costs of protected areas; and to ensure that the protected areas are managed effectively and efficiently with respect to conservation and other complementary objectives. Thus, activities are focused at two levels of support: building the financial management capacities of the agency responsible for administering the system of protected areas (NAPA); and demonstrating the efficacy of different financing strategies in a sub-set of National Parks: (i) Dajti National Park (DNP); (ii) Divjaka-Karavasta National Park (DKNP); and (iii) the Llogara-Karaburuni protected area complex (LKC).
