In the context of the post-2015 development agenda and the GAP and in order to make a tangible contribution to the implementation of the SDGs, RCE Middle Albania will adopt a long-term programme that will run until 2030. This will be developed in collaboration with interested partners, actors, and developers, through a process of consultations, and working sessions.  

The main objective is to use the RCE's unique individual approach to implement the SDGs regionally, based on the work already accomplished since 2012. 

In order to achieve this, on November 4, 2015, RCE Middle Albania organized the first round table at the UN office in Albania. RCE Middle Albania partners and UN representatives discussed the focal points and UN objectives regarding the implementation of the SDGs

The most appropriate SDGs for the country and region were identified and discussed in relation to the RCE Middle Albania programme. Regional actors and partners expressed their commitment to contribute to SDG implementation in the country.

The meeting will be followed up by more detailed sessions on specific SDGs as for example the dissemination of Goal 7 - “Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all" as part of the Energy Chapter of the Action Plan on ESD for Albania.
