“Sofra e Anéve”, was selected as one of the best three projects of Green Ideas 2017 of Partners Albania national competition.
“Sofra e Anéve”, (Grandma’s cooking) idea of Gjirokastra Foundation aims to develop culinary tourism tours in the city of Gjirokastra, relying on the rich tradition of “home cooking” and use of home garden products. The idea aims as well to promote the local agricultural products, diversification of tourism services and increase of employment.
Green Ideas is an annual competition organized by Partners Albania, which aims to serve as an incubator for small – scale green economic development ideas in Albania, utilizing local resources and revitalizing traditions of production and community-based markets in an environmentally friendly way.
The novelty lies in cooperation and creation of a joint seed fund from national companies and international donor institutions with institutional support of Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
The competition was launched in 2012 and through clear criteria and a transparent and fair competition process, it supports individuals, social enterprises, non-for-profit organizations and small business ventures to improve and contribute to a better life for society in Albania.
