As part of the implementation of the activities for the development of the External Assistance Management Information System (EAMIS), a series of training sessions were conducted in May 2018 by the developer of the system for the key users of the system. Participants were from the various Development and Integration Partners (DIPs) in Albania, line ministries, government agencies as well as members of the National Agency of Information Society (NAIS).

The training aimed at ensuring the sustainability of the External Assistance Management System (EAMIS) and focused mainly on the system usage to address the information management needs on external aid management and development cooperation activities in Albania.

In 2019, upon request by various DIPs focal points, a series of refreshers training sessions were conducted by the EAMIS Unit in the Ministry of Finance and Economy during the Spring-Summer period. The main focus of the training sessions was to introduce focal points, both existing and newcomers, to EAMIS with a view to familiarise them with the data entry procedures and requirements.

The refreshers training sessions were catered to the specific needs of each DIP and were held in their premises. More precisely, the DIPs that benefited from the refreshers training are the following: (i) UN group of agencies (17); Austrian Development Agency (ADA); EBRD; OSCE PiA; Swiss Embassy. In addition, a training session was conducted for the staff of the treasury department in the MFE.
