During the period of July 14–30, 2025, the Agency for the Support of Local Self-Government conducted meetings in every municipality across the country, with the aim of closely monitoring the process of data collection and reporting in accordance with the methodology of the Performance Measurement System. These meetings served both an assisting and verifying function, enabling the provision of on-site technical support, the verification of data accuracy, and the assurance of their validation in line with the requirements and standards outlined in the PMS Manual.

For the municipalities that were unable to participate in the first phase of the regional trainings held on July 7–8, 2025, the Agency for the Support of Local Self-Government engaged directly in conducting individual on-site meetings, ensuring the same level of support and training as provided to other local self-government units. During the second phase of the trainings, meetings were held with the municipalities of Shkodër, Finiq, Kavajë, Dropull, Këlcyrë, Memaliaj, Tiranë, Vau i Dejës, Lezhë, and Tropojë between July 16–30, 2025. These meetings took place at the premises of the respective municipalities, with the participation of Performance Coordinators and other representatives appointed in accordance with the internal orders of the mayors. The trainings were concise and adapted to follow the same content and structure as those conducted on July 7–8, ensuring equal and high-quality treatment of all local units within the framework of implementing the Performance Measurement System.

Following the trainings and on-site assistance, the Agency for the Support of Local Self-Government has maintained continuous communication with the Performance Coordinators in each municipality, with the aim of monitoring and supporting the data reporting process within the framework of the Performance Measurement System (PMS). This communication has served to promptly address any uncertainties, ensure the accuracy of the reported information, and support a clear and consistent process across all municipalities. Additionally, further guidance has been provided on the use of the electronic form via Google Forms, as well as on the administrative steps to be taken after the completion of reporting, enabling ongoing technical support at every stage of the process.
