  • 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.

  • Public-Private Partnership Stories Albania: Hydropower Privatization
    Public-Private Partnership Stories Albania: Hydropower Privatization Photo © Nico Saporiti As part of a broader effort to liberalize and reform its energy sector, the Albanian Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy decided to privatize four hydropower plants with a combined capacity of 76.7 megawatts. Some of the plants were in need of rehabilitation to allow them to operate with increased efficiency, safety, and reliabil- ity. Following advice from IFC, the four plants were packaged into two companies and privatized through transparent and highly competitive international tenders. They will be operated in compliance with strict environmental standards. Between 2005 and 2010 the government of Albania unbundled its transmission and distribution systems, introduced a new power market model, and granted concessions for the development of new hydropower plants to private investors. During the sum- mer of 2011 the government decided to privatize four existing medium-sized hydro- power plants on the Mat and Bistrica rivers. This series provides an overview of public-private partnership stories in various infrastructure sectors, The project was implemented with the financial support of DevCo, a multi-donor facility affiliated with the where IFC was the lead advisor.

    ISSN2039Ͳ9340MediterraneanJournalofSocialSciencesVol.3(10)July2012 Society under Sustainable Developments Prospective in District of Elbasan, Albania Evisa Duka PhD Candidate “A.Xhuvani”University Elbasan,Albania Faculty of Education Email:[email protected] Abstract: The purpose of this proposed session is to 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. 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.

Since its establishment in 2005, the network of organizations in CDO has grown to include dozens of members. CDO considers the observation of electoral processes by citizen groups as the most appropriate instrument for ensuring transparency, integrity and credibility of elections. CDO strongly believes that engaging citizens in following electoral processes does more than just promote good elections. Empowering citizens to observe the electoral process, among other things, helps to ensure greater accountability of public officials. The leading organizations of CDO - the Society for Democratic Culture, KRIIK Albania and the For Women and Children Association - are three of the most experienced domestic groups. In fulfillment of the philosophy of action, these organizations announce relevant actions depending on the electoral or institutional process to be followed. All interested civil society organizations are invited to join the action, thus CDO re-assesses periodically, openly, and in a transparent manner the best values of network functioning.
