  • Project management and coordination activities.
  • Communication and dissemination activities.
  • Pilot concept for choosing the exact areas, setting up the test sites and planning the network for soil screening, according to the specific needs of the region.
  • Capacity building and pilot tool implementation for environmental screening and monitoring of soils by an innovative methodology.
  • Validation of the methodology for soil pollution screening, consisting of independent chemical analyses of selected samples from the study area, preparation of thematic maps, geostatistical and spatial analysis of the data.
  • Final Conference for dissemination of project results in Macedonia.

PROJECT RESULTS:

  • Implemented a detailed assessment of the specific needs of the region about the mapping of existing and potential soil contamination.
  • Improved resource management efficiency with regard to soil and increased capabilities for flexible and evidence-based environmental monitoring in the Programme area, based on the proposed innovative approach for environmental screening and monitoring of soils.
  • Close institutional cooperation between NGO’s, academic organisations and public authorities (local, regional and national) in the cross-border region of Republic of Bulgaria and Republic of North Macedonia as a common platform for spreading know‐how and enhancing capacities and skills of the institutions dealing with environmental screening and monitoring.
