For the successful implementation of the NCP, as well as for sustainability of the achieved results, an important component is the support to activities for strengthening the capacities of Centre for Development of the East Planning Region (CDEPR) and the municipalities in the region, when it comes to protection of nature and sustainable management of natural resources. So far the NCP has supported innovative and tailor-made tools and formats for studying, as well as transfer of knowledge and experience.

This approach will continue to be applied so that in the future CDERP and the municipalities can be leaders in nature conservation in the region by the independent implementation of projects and activities.
