November, 2016 FOREWORD The Social Inclusion Action Plan represents an important document of the Municipality of Durrës for the evaluation of social inclusion in its several policy domains including: social protection, employment and skills, health, education, social housing and fulfilment of basic needs, as well as social participation and human rights. Social inclusion is concerned with measures to provide access to social services for vulnerable individuals and groups, enabling them to participate in the social, economic and political life of the society with their full capabilities. Economic growth and development of the rural and urban areas of our municipality will be possible when all human and physical resources will be employed in productive activities. The more we invest in human capital through education, and in the improvement of productivity through a better provision of health services and food, social housing and social protection, the more social exclusion will shrink. In the midterm, it is of strategic priority for the Municipality of Durrës the implementation of programs and projects that interrelate social inclusion to poverty, supporting education, employment and entrepreneurship, health services, social housing, and social participation and human rights.
