The Community Infrastructure Support project is funded by the Denmark and United Kingdom and aims to support national and local governments in reducing further social and economic losses, and to accelerate the recovery process through educational facility repair and reconstruction.  It is implemented by UNDP in collaboration with the Government of Albania.
