  • The Role of Civil Society and Media in Crises Management in Albania: the Devasting Political Earthquake of November 26, 2019 and Covid-19 Pandemic
    THE ROLE OF CIVIL SOCIETY AND MEDIA IN CRISES MANAGEMENT IN ALBANIA: THE DEVASTING POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE OF NOVEMBER 26, 2019 AND COVID-19 PANDEMIC 1 THE ROLE OF CIVIL SOCIETY AND MEDIA IN CRISES MANAGEMENT IN ALBANIA: THE DEVASTING POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE OF NOVEMBER 26, 2019 AND COVID-19 PANDEMIC 2 Research team: Blerjana Bino, Orkidea Xhaferaj, Lutjona Lula The authors produced this report for the Westminster Foundation for Democracy. The views and opinions expressed in this report are that of the authors and do not reflect those of the Government of the United Kingdom or the Westminster Foundation for Democracy. Tirana, November 2020 3 FORWARD The objective of this publication is to offer an in-depth analysis about CSOs and media engagement on the management of crises in Albania by carefully assessing the role of CSOs and media during the devastating earthquake of November 2019 and the Coronavirus pandemic. An important part of the publication is to provide recommendations on what can be improved in terms of a more effective role of the Civil Society and Media in the management of crises. Prior to the Coronavirus pandemic, Albania was hit by a devastating earthquake of November of 2019. Both the earthquake and its aftermath and the ongoing pandemic can be considered as unprecedented crises for a country like Albania. A report released recently by global civil society alliance CIVICUS, ‘Solidarity in the Time of COVID-19’, highlights the irreplaceable role of activists, NGOs and grassroots organisations during the pandemic and calls on states to work with civil society to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and create a better post-pandemic world.
