The Monitoring Matrix on Enabling Environment for Civil Society Development – Albania Country Report presents the findings of the assessment of the legal and practical enabling framework for civil society development.
The Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) in Albania are operating in an increasingly challenging environment. The legal framework often remains limited and does not align with the real needs of the sector.
Public funding is insufficient, and with the withdrawal of bilateral donors and the reduction of foreign aid, the challenge of financial sustainability has deepened, putting at risk the continuity of many services and their essential role in the social, economic, and democratic development of the country. Furthermore, the participation of NPOs in decision-making processes often remains formal rather than meaningful, limiting their potential to enhance democracy, accountability, and civic participation.
These challenges hamper the country’s progress in achieving the goals of the European integration agenda and standards, where an empowered and actively engaged civil society is essential to advancing democratisation and the rule of law.
For more in depth information on these developments, we invite you to read the “Monitoring Matrix Report on the Enabling Environment for Civil Society Development – Country Report for Albania 2024”, which covers developments throughout 2024 and key updates up to March 2025.
