Needs Assessment Report – Albania (2016)

The revised needs assessment aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of civil society in Albania and the relevant working environment, including its strengths, weaknesses, and its impacts to date, as well as the challenges it faces in its further development. The report is based upon a combination of desk research embracing all relevant documentation, including legal and financial legislation applicable to civil society, previous and/or other civil society mappings and assessments, situation analyses, policy documents and country-specific academic literature as well as the most recent studies and analysis of different aspects of the environment civil society organizations (CSOs) operate in (such as TACSO IPSOS Civil Society Report, 2016).
