In Albania and Kosovo, the plastic waste management system is confronted with significant challenges, including inefficient handling of increasing volumes of plastic waste and a lack of robust recycling infrastructure.

The WARP Project is dedicated to transforming sustainable waste management and recycling education in Albania and Kosovo by empowering the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector through a forward-thinking, self-sustaining approach.

• Conduct in-depth analysis of current policies and practices in waste management.
• Identify gaps and best practices to inform evidence-based, high-impact interventions.

2. Strengthen VET Systems

• Upskill trainers and educators to drive innovation in recycling and green practices.
• Enhance VET programs with modern content and training focused on sustainability.

3. Connect Education with the Labour Market

• Establish strong partnerships between VET institutions and industry.
• Align training content with real-world market demands to boost employability.

4. Ensure Long-Term Impact & Outreach

• Engage civil society through campaigns and educational resources.
• Design and implement a Transferability Strategy to sustain and scale best practices.
