This project is part of a larger investment programme 'Regional and Local Road Connectivity' which will be financed by a World Bank loan and aims to improve roads and generate economic benefits as a result of road interconnections, especially in the agricultural and tourism sectors, which are the drivers of economic growth and employment in Albania.

The footprint of the proposed road is 12.6 km in length and covers approximately 12.5 ha. Approximately 10.82 km of the proposed road will traverse the Buna River Protected Landscape (IUCN Category 5; National Park), which is under the management of the Shkoder Forestry Service Directorate and is also designated as a Ramsar Site, Important Bird Area (IBA) and a candidate for Emerald Site.

For this reason, a set of documents for the supplementary assessments and action plans with the avoidance and mitigation measures of the environmental and biodiversity impact are prepared from consultant RSK Group with the assistance of ADF to meet EBRD’s Performance Requirements (PR).

Pogradec – Tushemisht road is part of the “Regional and Local Roads Connectivity” program, financed by the government of Albania and the World Bank and implemented by the Albanian Development Fund.

The public meeting was held on 31 July, at the premises of Pogradec municipality. Its aim was to inform project affected locals on private property, compensation procedures and environmental impacts.

What is the Environmental and Social Management Plan and the Resettlement Action Plan?

Both plans are assessment documents focusing on project impacts such as people and environment.

Albanian Government and donor policies pay a great attention to environmental care and involvement of the community affected by these projects. In this way assessment through public consultation is more realistic and transparent.

Albanian Development Fund organizes public consultation since the early stages of projects to increase transparency and at the same time encourage community participation in development projects.

TIRANË – Ndërtimi i rrugës Qafë Thore – Theth është ndër projektet që Fondi Shqiptar i Zhvillimit po përgatitet të zbatojë në terren me qëllim zhvillimin e turizmit dhe rritjen e mirëqenies së banorëve dhe qytetarëve.

Ndërtimi i rrugës financohet nga qeveria shqiptare me mbështetjen e Bankës Botërore dhe do të zbatohet nga Fondi Shqiptar i Zhvillimit në kuadër të projektit “Rrugët Lidhëse Rajonale dhe Lokale”.

Më datë 13 korrik Fondi Shqiptar i Zhvillimit organizoi takimin publik me komunitetin e Thethit për të diskutuar impaktin mjedisor dhe social të projektit për ndërtimin e rrugës Qafe Thore -Theth. Rruga është 16 kilometra e gjatë dhe lidh Thethin me Qafë Thorën, Bogën dhe Shkodrën. Ndër të tjera, projekti parashikon gjerësi asfalti 4 – 4,75 metra dhe në 3 pikat më të rrezikshme të rrugës do të ndërtohen 3 tunele nga 20 -30 metra për të siguruar mbrojtje nga ortekët. Përveç lehtësimit të qarkullimit edhe gjatë stinës së dimrit kur fshati bllokohet nga dëbora, rruga do të ofrojë siguri më të lartë.

Siguria rrugore dhe lehtësia në qarkullim ishin dy çështjet kryesore rreth të cilave u përqëndruan pyetjet e banorëve të komunitetit të Thethit. Puna planifikohet të fillojë pranverën e vitit të ardhshëm.

Projekti për rrugën Qafë Thore – Theth është pjesë e investimeve që rrjedhin nga Plani Sektorial i Turizmit për Rajonin e Alpeve Shqiptare. Dokumenti në fjalë, bashkë me strategjinë e marketingut turistik dhe programin e investimeve për infrastrukturën vendore përbëjnë atë që njihet si Masterplani i Alpeve dhe që u miratua nga Këshilli Kombëtar i Territorit vitin e kaluar.

Krahas qasjes së integruar të investimeve për të gjithë rajonin, Masterplani përcakton qartësisht kornizën e rregullave të zhvillimit, duke e futur të gjithë rajonin në një cikël të ri zhvillimi me impakt afatgjatë.

Kështu, janë identifikuar 4 kategori lokalitetesh dhe është përcaktuar profili i zhvillimit për secilën kategori, duke orientuar qartësisht llojin e investimit dhe ndërhyrjet që do të lejohen në secilën prej kategorive. Klikoni në linkun e mëposhtëm për më shumë rreth Masterplanit të Alpeve:

Thethi, bashkë me  Lëpushën,  Vukël-Nikçin, Rragamin, Çeremin dhe Currajn e Epërm bën pjesë në kategorinë e tretë të lokaliteteve që është emërtuar si “Porta të atraksionit turistik”. Kjo kategori përfshin lokalitetet “Bërthamë” të Alpeve Shqiptare, që ndërthurin vlera të larta mjedisore me karakteristika të arkitekturës tradicionale që duhet ruajtur.
