Overall Objective

The Overall Objective (OO) is to contribute to the effective and sustainable re-use
of confiscated assets in Albania from organized crime by civil society for social
purposes.
– The Specific Objective (SO) is to strengthen social enterprises in managing the
confiscated assets based on social agriculture models with benefit to the employment
of vulnerable groups in the area of Tirana and Durres municipalities.

Summary of the Project

This Programme will contribute to the effective and sustainable re-use of confiscated
assets in Albania from organized crime by civil society for social purposes. The
practice through which confiscated assets are made available to communities, not
only will allow the involvement of civil society in the fight against organized crime,
but will also increase the trust in institutions and the rule of law, and will enhance
the CSOs capacities to effectively engage in the decision-making process and to
support the development of innovative social entrepreneurship models.
