Our Pillars The AADF is dedicated to contributing to sustainable growth and development in Albania through three key pillars: Education and Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Cultural Heritage and Eco-Tourism. Education and Leadership : We invest in the future by providing skills-based programs in technology and leadership, offering scholarships, supporting research in universities, and contributing to building transparent and meritocratic education institutions in Albania. Entrepreneurship : We have introduced the Business Improvement District (BID) and Tourism Improvement District (TID) models in key Albanian cities including Gjirokastra, Shkodra, Kruja, Tirana, Korça, Vlora, and Berat. AADF’s investment has transformed the BID areas into important landmarks, boosting tourism and empowering local businesses. Cultural Heritage and Eco-Tourism : Our efforts in preserving and promoting Albania’s rich cultural history include modernizing access to cultural sites with electronic ticketing systems; developing management plans and revitalizing important sites; supporting museums; safeguarding Albanian traditions and their inscription to UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
