The goal of this entire capacity building sequence is to establish and strengthen capacities and skills to further manage and coordinate the process of building regional image, promoting and branding local products.
In addition, this training is aiming at building management and marketing skills and promoting an active and innovative marketing approach for structural changes on regional level.

Trainers shared with the participants Albanian case studies on the protection of local and regional products from other areas of Albania.
