The overall objectives of the CEMSA project are to: (i) improve the quality of environment in Albania, (ii) prevent from environmental degradation and pollution, (iii) support towards the adoption of Environmental Acquis through the formulation and implementation of appropriate policies supported by a consolidated environmental monitoring capacity. The CEMSA project has supported the Government of Albania in implementing a National Monitoring Programme through the expansion and consolidation of an operational Integrated Environmental Monitoring System (IEMS), capable of using environmental standards and EU directives as a general reference framework. Quality and reliability of data that feed the system are crucial in the long run, which means that monitoring structures are legally in place and ensure operation and maintenance of the system as a whole.
