Success Story: Local Economic Growth Committees (LEGCs) Provide a Public-Private Forum.
Local Economic Growth Committees (LEGCs) provide a public-private forum for an open discussion and assessment of municipal economic growth strategies.
The LEGCs in the LGPA’s 10 target cities developed a strategic vision of future local economic growth potential in their municipality, and prioritized immediate actions within the context of a short-term local economic development action plan. This plan and subsequent implementation activities were a result of coordination between LGPA project staff, municipality staff, and other stakeholders active in the respective municipality. The LEGC action plans have been successful in mobilizing resources for change: on average, five to six actions were implemented in each city during Year 1 of the LGPA.

Success Story: Korça Job Fair Improves the Labor Market and Results in 22 New Jobs.
Korça’s Job Fair, organized on 14 July 2009, gave businesses the opportunity to promote their activities and select the ideal candidate.
The labor market in Korcë City is very informal. There are no structured methods of announcing vacancies and in the majority of cases vacancy information never reaches the target group. Businesses have not identified appropriate information channels, and applicants have no way of finding vacancies except for word of mouth. Often, it is a matter of who you know rather than the quality of one’s qualifications. As a result the demand and supply do not meet each other properly.
