The project "Strengthening Local Governance Structures and Cooperation among Local Elected in Albania implemented by the Council of Europe with the support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation offered its assistance to improve human resources and implement the Law" On Civil Servant ". This project also had close cooperation with the Department of Public Administration (DAP), and the Albanian School of Public Administration (ASPA).

In this context, the project has undertaken a national institutional assessment and training needs for LGU employees. This process was developed according to a well-defined methodology.
