Five years ago, the earthquake destroyed and damaged hundreds of schools across Albania.

The European Union Delegation in Tirana shared with the public on this fifth anniversary of this tragic event the good news of rebuilding 59 modern schools.

EU4Schools, funded by the European Union and implemented by UNDP, has strengthened Albania’s education system by rebuilding 59 modern schools to EU standards in 11 of the municipalities most affected by the earthquake.

On February 17, 2020, the European Union organized in Brussels, the International Donors’ Conference “Together for Albania”, which aimed to support Albania in its rebuilding efforts after the devastating earthquake.

In this context, the “EU for Schools” Program was born with a value of 75 million euros funded by the EU and implemented by UNDP in cooperation with the Albanian government. 25,000 students, teachers, and children are the beneficiaries of this project. (November 27)
