About 60 representatives of the local institutions network in Vlora and Durrës regions, which provide services for children with disabilities, are being trained for international and national standards in the field of anti-discrimination and access to public services for children with disabilities as to these standards.

As per Applicants’ Guidelines of the CEFJSAJA’s Sub-Grant Scheme – Round # 2,  the lastest updated timetable is as follows:

11. Notification of award (Step 5)                                             Second week, March 2018

To further strengthen child protection and safeguards mechanisms for children, Save the Children in collaboration with the International Child Development Initiative, a knowledge organization in psychosocial development of children and young people, organized an informative session with the child protection professionals. The focus was the “Determination of the Best Interest of the Child’ guideline and how to measure its application.

On the occasion of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the Community Based Service (CBS) Centers for Children with Disabilities in Durres and Vlore organized exhibitions in the Art Gallery in Durres and Petro Marko theatre in Vlore respectively.

Hundreds of children, teachers, child protection professionals, parents and community members of urban and rural areas in Durres, Tropoja, Fier, Kukes, Shkodra, Tirana and Gjirokastra, appealed to local authorities for more engagement and attention to implementation of children's rights.
