    Decentralisation and Local Economic Development in Albania Merita Toskaa, Anila Bejko (Gjika)B

    Annual Review of Territorial Governance in the Western Balkans, I, 2019, 53-68 53 Journal of the Western Balkan Network on Territorial Governance Print ISSN 2706-6371 https://doi.org/10.32034/CP-TGWBAR-I01-05 Decentralisation and Local Economic Development in Albania Merita Toskaa, Anila Bejko (Gjika)b Summary Local governance in Albania has been the subject of several reforms over the last few years. The consolidation of local self-government units into 61 municipalities through the administrative and territorial reform was accompanied by the approval of a new law on local self-government, a new strategy for decentralization, and the devolution of some new functions to the local level. The completion of the legislative framework with a law dedicated to local finances was of particular importance for local governments. Nevertheless, while the available financial resources to the 61 municipalities are assessed to have followed an upward trend, their allocation seems to have had different effects on local economic development. Stronger decentralization and fiscal autonomy at the local level leads to better services for citizens, and theoretically translates into favourable conditions for promoting local economic development. This article assesses the relationship between the local government decentralization processes undertaken after 2010 in Albania and local economic development. The results, based on data for the period 2010-2018, are different for municipalities of different sizes, demonstrating the need to complement decentralization reforms with instruments that enhance local capacity and are tailored to local needs. Furthermore, it is concluded that these findings are introductory and not exhaustive, as long as a commonly agreed indicator approximating local economic development is not set.

Under the Global Millenniums Goals, the society across the world is ambitiously exercising principles of sustainable development, linking economy, society and environment toward a better wellbeing for future generations. Sustainable development principles require societal actions beyond borders of states, political and economy sectors, as well as of the generations and societal diversities.What is the Albanian contribution with regards to the Earth Summit Challenges, while it is fully integrating in the regional and global processes under the freedoms of market economy? Through my paper I will introduce the status of sustainable development in my country Albania, bringing in attention sustainable development and society in a very symbolic district of the Country, the Elbasan district, pointing out local societies both as contributors and beneficiaries in the process. I will present district natural and human resources under the sustainable prospective, while a lot of work needs to be done in order to prevent the very critical environmental condition along the city or periphery due to former metallurgy activity in the district. The role of society is indispensable in the process, while bottom up initiatives must push local and central governments to design and implement budgets fostering a sustainable development.

Their name in the Albanian language is Rom (official) and Arixhi, Gabel, Magjup, Kurbat (derogative), and in the minority language their name is Rrom (sg.) and Rroma (pl.) Is there any form of recognition of the minority? Roma are officially recognized through the Romani NGOs that have a judicial status in Albania (Kanev, 1999). Nevertheless, Roma are not recognized publicly as a distinct minority, unlike the Greeks and the Macedonians who are recognized due to a situation inherited from communism.

    Strengthening Future Communities Through the Youth of Today

    Strengthening Future Communities through the Youth of Today Youth in Albania are a prominent influencing force in society today. Despite this, they still lack recognition from local governments and are therefore unable to reach their full potential in building effective and resilient communities. With this challenge in mind, the PLGP has set about the critical process of establishing municipally- recognized Youth Boards (YBs) in our six Women, Peace, and Security (WPS)- partnered municipalities. These YBs give young people opportunities to develop their potential and ensure participation and a voice in governmental processes that impact their futures and communities. Since 2018, the PLGP has facilitated the establishment and formalization of five YBs in the municipalities of Belsh (by invitation), Bulqiza, Cerrik, Librazhd, and Peshkopi. The Cerrik Youth Board was one of the first YBs created, a group of vibrant girls and boys that want to make a change in their lives and their community. Since its creation, the Cerrik YB members have been actively involved in various capacity building and community development activities, ranging from environmental days to “Bringing youth into the fold of the community advocacy and leadership trainings. and providing meaningful opportunities to In May, through a planning and visioning exercise, they developed their concept of an ideal city.
