Schools for Health (Shkollat për Shëndetin)


Nearly one third of the population in Albania is smoking, overweight or suffers from high blood pressure. Adopting healthy behaviours is crucial to combat non-communicable diseases. In the exit phase, the Ministries of Health and of Education will strengthen coordination mechanisms for health promotion in schools. Schools’ staff and healthcare professionals will implement jointly local action plans. Children, parents and communities will increasingly adopt healthy behaviours.

Hintergrund
  • Non-communicable diseases are the primary cause of illness in Albania, accounting for 80% of deaths in 2023. Effective control requires early interventions focusing on vulnerable with limited access to prevention and treatment services.
  • Challenges persist, such as poor implementation of health policies, scarce human and financial resources, insufficient coordination across sectors, inadequate training in health promotion, low health literacy and high prevalance of risk factors like high blood pressure, tobacco use, and unhealthy nutrition.
Ziele The population of Albania increasingly adopts healthy behaviours by reducing its exposure to main risk factors for Non communicable diseases, NCDs.
Zielgruppen The direct beneficiaries of the project are all children (260’000) from all schools in the country (997) aged 6-15 years and approximately 11’000 Roma and Egyptians children as well as their parents/caregivers and families, 24’000 teachers and schools’ authorities in 997 schools; local and regional health and education directorates, and municipalities.
The Ministry of Health and Social Protection (MoHSP) and the Ministry of Education and Sport (MoES) are the main partners of the project.
