    LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND 01.06.2017 – 31.05.2021 ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT JULY 2019 – JUNE 2020 Submitted by UNITED NATIONS JULY 2020 General Information This report is presented to the Programme Steering Committee and it provides a summary of the Leave No One Behind (LNB) programme’s main achievements during the implementation period of June 1st, 2019 – June 30th, 2020. The LNB programme, financed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), is a four- year programme (2017-2021) implemented by UN agencies under the management of UNDP. The imple- mentation arrangements are formalized through a Standard Administrative Agreement on May 31, 2017, covering the period of June 1, 2017 – May 31, 2021. Its main goal is to empower the vulnerable persons in Albania to have equal access to public services and opportunities, to have a voice in public decision-making affecting their lives. Executive Summary The Government of Albania is committed to address social protection and inclusion, with a particular focus on the most marginalised groups with high proportions of them living close to the poverty line. Social Fund1, the Social Enterprise Fund2 and the Social Housing programmes are operational and constantly resourced in the recent years where Social Housing Programme is tripled in 20203 and integrated in the Medium-term Budget Program of MHSP. Cash benefits continue to take up more than 95% of social pro- tection expenditure at the central level in 2018 and 2019 as well. Non-cash social protection expenditure, including administration of social care services as well as management activities, has slightly increased in nominal terms (988 million Lek in 2018 and 2019, as opposed to 900 million Lek in 2017).

    Differentiation of Administrative Units of Albania by Length and Density of National Road Network

This is an open access article licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/). Differentiation of Administrative Units of Albania by Length and Density of National Road Network Ibrahim Ramadani1 Pal Nikolli2 Ferim Gashi1* 1University of Prishtina, Prishtina, Kosovo 2University of Tirana, Tirana, Albania *Corresponding Author Doi: 10.36941/ajis-2019-0026 Abstract The distribution of the road network in Albania is condition by physico-geographic and socio-economic factors. The small density of the road network puts Albania in the last group of world countries, together with Romania and Bulgaria, but behind all Balkan countries. The unequal development of the road network is one of the strongest reasons for the unequal economic development of different regions of Albania. Inadequacy of road infrastructure is also a major cause for the high level of pollution in urban areas. The study assesses and differentiates Albania's national road network based on several statistical indicators, according to the administrative organization (municipalities and districts) approved by law. The data sources are the road and topographic maps, as well as the data of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and the Ministry of Local Affairs. Maps and images are georeferenced and processed in ArcGIS 10.2, where digital lines, road junctions, and other geographic objects related to them are digitized. Keywords: road network, district, municipality, differentiation, uneven development 1. Introduction Because of the multi-dimensional functions, the importance of maintaining relationships and achieving integration in every aspect of society, ranging from individual to nation, a compulsory feature of modern life is the transport, movement and exchange of people, goods and services (Umoren et al.

For instance, the allocation of health and social care funding, housing, roads, water and sewerage and the provision and maintenance of schools have all distinctive aspects in urban and rural areas. Employment for urban and rural population has different features as well. In Albania, as in most other countries, it is difficult to distinguish exactly the urban population from the rural one. Even though not always reflecting what is certainly urban or rural, in Albania, the administrative definition based on the law is used also for statistical purposes. However, the present availability of small-area data derived from the 2011 population and housing census covering the entire territory of the country, has made possible an attempt to introduce also in Albania new definitions and classifications of urban and rural areas for statistical purposes.

CHAPTER III.0 General overview Villages Administrative Administrative Municipality Region Units Offices Zvërnec Qendër Vlorë Vlorë Vlorë Vlorë The village of Zvërnec is located in the southern part of the Lagoon of Nartë, on a promontory over a small gulf (Gjiri i vogël) which looks like a miniature of the ‘great’ Gulf of Vlorë (Gjiri i Vlorës) (Figs. III-0.1 and III-0.2). Vlorë, which lies in a south- easterly direction, is the only city with which the village is directly linked by land. Zvërnec consists of two different quarters: the oldest part of the settlement located on the hill and the more recent quarter of the Vlachs1, which occupies the part of the village next to the shore. The inhabitants of both quarters speak Albanian and Greek and have dual citizen- ship (the Vlachs also speak a dialect that is related to Romanian). The village gave its name to the Island of Zvërnec, made famous by the presence of the Byzantine Church of the Dormition of Mary (category I Cultural Monument), which every year attracts many faithful and tourists alike, both Albanian and foreign. The church was part of an old monastic complex, of which only a few buildings remain today. In addition to the church, there is another category I Cultural Monument in the area of Zvërnec: the fortification surrounding a settlement from the 6th and 5th centu- ries B.C., known as Kështjella e Treportit (Castle of Treporti).

    July 2019 e-ISSN: 1857-8187 p-ISSN: 1857-8179 Research Article Linguistics SPOKEN LANGUAGE OF KONISPOL Keywords: dialect, subdialect, Tosk, çam, Konispol, lexicology, spoken, etc. Anila Shorri University of Tirana – Albania. Abstract The linguistic wealth of the Albanian language is not only an expression of it standard version. Its dialects are also part of its wealth, as it is the case with any other languages. Each dialect includes important and specific lexicological and linguistic elements, which make it important to do some research. The Tosk dialect, as a dialect of the Albanian language, is particularly important. It includes precious elements, such as the spoken çam dialect of the town of Konispol, whose research would enrich the Albanian language. Thus, the characteristics of the spoken language of Konispol in this article are only a part of this wealth. As any other dialects, the Konispol‘s one includes certain characteristics, such as phraseological units, whose research is of interest for linguistics. The article addresses this dialect from several perspectives, identifying the large linguistic assets it contains. The article addresses the linguistic and lexicological treasure of the spoken language of Konispol, which is a subdialect of çam, both belonging to the Tosk dialect. The town of Konispol is located in the South of Albania, about forty kilometers southeast of the city of Saranda. The twon is built on a plateau 250-300 metres above the sea level, and is bordered by the Mountain of Saraqindi in the north (1036 meters a.s.l.), Cjepuri and suburbs of the village of Vërvë east, Narta hills (700 meters a.s.l.) deprived of high vegetation south, and the Ioanian Sea in the West (on the border with Greece).
