This initiative comes as a concrete effort to transform assets obtained through illegality into spaces of value for the community, in service of the needy, victims of organized crime, as well as children and young people living in affected communities.
According to AAPSK, the aim of this call is to encourage creative ideas with real impact on the ground and that have the potential to be transformed into concrete, viable and sustainable projects. The winning project will enjoy the support and mediation of the Agency in relation to donors and foundations interested in investing in social justice and community development in Albania.

The application must contain: a description of the idea and its purpose; objectives and beneficiary group; form of use of the property; implementation deadlines; as well as the capacities of the implementer and potential partners.
