In Albania, the overarching goal of UNICEF’s engagement with the Government and partners is to achieve, by 2021, the progressive realization of rights of all children in Albania, accompanied by the reduction of equity gaps, based on effective child-focused policies, systematically enforced accountabilities with adequate public resources, and strengthened respect for and protection of children’s rights. Specifically, UNICEF works with the government and other partners towards strengthening governance for equity and social inclusion and ensuring protection and justice for all children. The current Country Programme Document (2017-2021), as part of the “Delivering as One” United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF), will contribute to progress towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in Albania. The country programme is also fully aligned with national priorities of EU integration which includes social cohesion based on a modern educational system, universal and quality health care coverage, expanded employment opportunities, a stronger social protection system, gender equality and social inclusion. ♦ UNICEF results framework (2017 – 2021) contributes to the following results specific to children: ♦ By 2021, health care policymakers and service providers are equipped with knowledge, guidance, tools and mechanisms to effectively scale up and implement the new MNCH normative framework, focused on the most marginalized. ♦ By 2021, education sector policymakers and practitioners at central and local levels are equipped with knowledge, guidance, tools and mechanisms to effectively implement and scale up the reformed, Early Learning and Development Standards-based and equity- sensitive, early learning education framework ♦ By 2021, social protection policymakers and practitioners are equipped with knowledge, guidance, tools and mechanisms to effectively implement the reformed social protection policy (combining cash assistance with decentralized care services). ♦ By 2021, social and child protection practitioners have increased capacity to assist families in situations of particular vulnerability/at risk of separation to provide care for their children, preventing institutionalization. ♦ By 2021, child protection practitioners are empowered with legal and normative frameworks, 6 operational standards and tools to effectively prevent and address situations of child abuse, violence, neglect and exploitation. ♦ By 2021, justice sector policymakers, practitioners and independent human rights institutions have the capacity to fully align the Justice for Children normative framework to international standards and to effectively protect the rights of children in conflict and in contact with the law. BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT COUNTRY CONTEXT Albania is an upper-middle-income country situated in South-Eastern Europe. Rapid demographic changes have taken place in the past years, with a significant decline in the size of the working- age population due to rapid aging and continuous high levels of emigration. Data from the Institute of Statistics (INSTAT) show the shrinking trend in the total population size, from 2.89 million in 2014, to 2.87 million in 2018. The child population (younger than 19 years) has also fallen, from about 28 per cent (2014) to 25 per cent (2018) of the total1. The country has a high human development index, ranked as 68th out of 189 countries in 20172. Over the last quarter of a century, living standards in Albania have seen significant improvement, with per-capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP) quadrupling from 1992 to 2017. In 2018, this positive trend in economic growth continued with GDP growth in real terms at 4.3 per cent for the first three-quarters of the year, attributed mainly to Foreign Direct Investment projects and revival of construction, and tourism3. Yet, despite this economic progress, wealth distribution has not been equal, and vulnerable groups continue to be underserved in the areas of health, education, social care and child protection. Albania has high unemployment rates especially among youth and women4. International organizations estimate the share in “vulnerable” employment (those engaged as unpaid family workers or own-account workers) to represent just under 60 per cent in Albania5 and that the country still remains one of the world’s 35 largest remittance-receiving economies. Albania is one the poorest country in Europe. Latest poverty published data are from Living Standards Measurement Survey (LSMS 2012), which indicate the urbanization of poverty due to internal migratory flows, confirmed that children are most affected by poverty: while 14.3% of the population lived in absolute poverty, the figure for children was 17.4 per cent (living in families with less than USD125 a month), and almost two per cent (1.8% or 15,252 children) were living in families with zero income. The Government of Albania (GoA) has signed and ratified various international conventions, documents and resolutions related to human, including child rights, and has been successful to have in place a robust national legislation in line with international conventions. However, it lags behind in the implementation of the laws, policies and strategies6. State’s financial allocations for social sectors—education, health and social protection—make up the largest share of public expenditure as a percentage of GDP; but they are not comparable to international standards for an upper middle-income country and fail to provide the adequate 1.

This year we have marked 10 years of work, passion, desire and fatigue, to overcome yesterday, towards a different tomorrow from today. All the challenges that we encounter are the starting point for change and progress. 2013 was a difficult year. Regarding the Albanian economy, I would characterize it as the most difficult year, where structural changes left consequences in the economy. But it was overcome, with a great responsibility, desire and commitment to the common good. We are now ranked among the top banks of the Albanian banking market. We have maximized everything in our whole organization. We increased sales, analysis and control. We have reformed the structure according to a market that experienced weakness and oscillation, but also endurance. We have focused on existing customers supporting their business, but also on the new ones. We have learned from the appalling economic factors and focused on such sectors where need and demand for products provides lifespan, expanding lending and comprehensive support. Our financial results during 2013 are indicative of a sustainable and healthy development where is worth mentioning: In terms of performance of the entire banking system of the country, our deposit growth exceeded overall market growth with 3.42% and our growth in total loans exceeded the market which fell by 1.84%.

The city of Koplik is situated 17 km at the North of Shkodra city,in Albania. The genetic structure and connections among the inhabitants of Koplik, have been studied according to the distribution of the surnames of 18831 individuals, identified by 652 surnames, which resulted from the compilation of the genealogical trees.The coefficient of kinship was calculated, because of the isonomy of the case, along with evaluations of the α of Fisher as indicator of the surname variety, evaluations of Fst inbreeding coefficients and evaluations of the Karlin-McGregor`s coefficient. The surname distribution has been calculated based on the logarithm of the surname number and the number of the times such surname is identified. All these parameters have been calculated by means of the data extracted from the genealogical trees in three different methods, based on the surnames inherited from the father, from the mother and a another one, based on casual distribution of the surnames of the same persons,but without considering the genealogical relationship.All these methods show a high value of kinship, but when the three methods are compared, the results have obvious differences.
