RISE-ALB | Rafforzamento dell’Imprenditorialità SocialE in Albania

The project promotes social entrepreneurship in support of job placement of vulnerable categories. It develops along three levels:

Political-institutional level: exchange of good practices on inclusive policies and on social re-use of confiscated assets. The activities are addressed to Albanian authorities, in cooperation with Italian institutions and organizations. Participation of local Civil Society Organizations is realized through consultation meetings. A sub-granting scheme is developed to finance the start-up of 5 new social enterprises.
Civil society level: CSOs involved in training with Italian experts. 5 CSOs winners of subgrants are involved in customized coaching programs.
Disadvantaged people: dedicated training courses and job placement activities in 3 pilot social enterprises (set up by ENGIM and CESVI) in the sectors of pastry and agricultural transformation.
Italian partners: academic skills (Università Cattolica), expertise on social economy and social innovation ecosystems (ART-ER, Fare Comunità, Libera).

Albanian partners: institutions (Ministry of Welfare, Confiscated Assets Agency – AAPSK, Fier, Permet Municipalities), education (Qendra Sociale Murialdo), Civil Society (PartnersAlbania).
Generated impact:

disadvantaged people benefitting from training and job placement will transmit positive models;
local CSOs improve managerial skills and will be able to start new social enterprises.
