[Yolanda Nicolau]

The Federación Valenciana de Municipios y Provincias (FVMP) is a non-profit association representing the local authorities of the Valencia Region (Spain). We are looking to join a consortium for the Mediterranean Multi-Programme Mechanism (MMM) Coordinated Call 7 on Sustainable Tourism.

FVMP has extensive experience in the management and implementation of EU-funded projects, particularly in territorial cooperation, governance, sustainability and capacity-building initiatives. Through our network of municipalities, we provide a strong link between European cooperation projects and local policy implementation.

Our main strengths include:

– Strong engagement of local and regional policy makers and public authorities.
– Wide stakeholder outreach, involving tourism actors, SMEs, academia, civil society and other relevant organisations.
– Proven expertise in organising participatory processes, workshops, peer-learning activities and policy dialogue.
– Extensive experience in communication, dissemination and capitalisation of project results, ensuring visibility, impact and long-term uptake.
– Capacity to contribute to policy recommendations, governance models and the transfer of project outcomes into public policies.

We are interested in projects addressing sustainable tourism governance, destination resilience, the green and digital transition, cultural and natural heritage, community-based tourism and innovative governance approaches.

FVMP is open to participating as Lead Partner, Project Partner or Work Package Leader, particularly for work packages related to stakeholder engagement, governance, communication and dissemination, policy uptake, capacity building and capitalisation.

We look forward to connecting with committed partners to develop ambitious and impactful proposals for the Mediterranean region.

[Center for Development of Pelagonija Planning Region CDPPR]

Dear,
I am writing on behalf of the Center for Development of the Pelagonija Planning Region (CDPPR), from Bitola, Macedonia, to express our interest in establishing cooperation with organisations looking for reliable and experienced partners for Interreg Euro-MED projects, particularly within the field of sustainable tourism and related areas of regional development.

CDPPR is a public institution for regional development, established by the nine units of local self-government comprising the Pelagonija Planning Region. As a regional development institution, we work closely with municipalities, public institutions, local stakeholders, businesses and civil society organisations to identify and address regional development needs and translate them into concrete projects and actions.

Our responsibilities include preparation and implementation of development projects, coordination of regional development activities, support to local communities, promotion of tourism and cultural heritage, and activities related to civil protection, resilience and sustainable territorial development.

CDPPR has substantial experience in project development, partnership building and project implementation under various national and international funding instruments. While Euro-MED would be a new programme framework for our institution, we have practical experience with Interreg cross-border cooperation, including project preparation, partnership coordination, financial and administrative management, implementation of activities, communication and reporting.

Our experience also includes projects and initiatives related to sustainable and rural tourism, cultural and natural heritage, local economic development, environmental protection, climate resilience and capacity building of local stakeholders. Through our institutional position, we can also facilitate access to the municipalities and relevant stakeholders across the Pelagonija region and support the testing, adaptation and territorial transfer of innovative solutions and good practices.

For the upcoming Interreg Euro-MED opportunities, including the Mediterranean Multi-Programme Mechanism (MMM) and Sustainable Tourism, we are particularly interested in joining partnerships where our regional expertise, territorial network and capacity to implement pilot actions can provide concrete added value.

If you are looking for a reliable partner from North Macedonia with strong links to local and regional authorities and practical experience in project implementation and territorial development, we would be pleased to discuss potential cooperation.
Please feel free to contact us at info@pelagonijaregion.mk to exchange information about your project ideas, partnership needs and potential areas of cooperation.
We look forward to establishing successful cooperation.

Kind regards,
Jasmina Matevska

**Municipality of Kavajë, Albania – Expression of Interest for Interreg Euro-MED Call 7**

Dear FVMP team and potential partners,

The **Municipality of Kavajë (Albania)** is interested in joining a consortium under **Interreg Euro-MED Call 7 – Sustainable Tourism** and would be pleased to explore cooperation with the Valencian Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FVMP).

Kavajë is a Mediterranean municipality with a rapidly developing coastal tourism area, particularly **Golem and Qerret**, where seasonal tourism creates increasing pressures related to water consumption, waste management, climate resilience, mobility, environmental protection and sustainable destination management.

For Call 7, the Municipality of Kavajë is particularly interested in acting as a **receiving/transfer territory**, where proven solutions and results developed under eligible Mediterranean cooperation programmes could be adapted, tested and transferred.

**Areas of particular interest include:**

* sustainable and climate-resilient coastal tourism;
* water efficiency and sustainable resource management in tourism destinations;
* circular economy and waste reduction;
* green and digital transition of tourism destinations;
* sustainable destination governance and stakeholder engagement;
* protection and valorisation of natural and cultural heritage.

The **Golem–Qerret coastal area** could provide a valuable Mediterranean pilot/receiving territory, involving the Municipality, tourism businesses, local communities and other relevant stakeholders.

We would be particularly interested in discussing possible synergies with **FVMP’s expertise in local governance, stakeholder engagement, policy uptake, capacity building and capitalisation**, and in exploring participation in a consortium currently being developed for Call 7.

The Municipality of Kavajë is ready to contribute as an active **Project Partner / Receiving Territory** and is open to cooperation with organisations that can provide transferable solutions and methodologies relevant to sustainable tourism.

We would be pleased to connect and discuss potential cooperation.

**Municipality of Kavajë – Albania**
