The Steering Committee of the Council of Europe/European Union joint project on enhancing the effectiveness of the Albanian Human Rights Protection and Anti-discrimination system has set the way for the conduct of an awareness campaign against discrimination and a comprehensive package to support the Commissioner for Protection from Discrimination (CPD) and the People’s Advocate in developing their communication strategies and improving inter-institutional co-operation and internal procedures for the Commissioner.

The project will also continue to support courses on Business and Human Rights as well as Asylum-seekers and the European Convention on Human Rights based on the HELP training platform for legal and non-legal professionals.
