Since its establishment, Partners Albania has worked for and supported the strengthening of CSOs considering as crucial the key role that civil society has in strengthening and deepening democracy and in contributing to the socio-economic development of the country.

The latest initiative taken in continuation of these efforts is the implementation of the project “ACT for Standards – Building Trust, Accountability and Sustainability in Civil Society Organizations” supported by the Public Affairs Office of the USA Embassy in Albania.

The initiative aims to improve the standards of civil society in Albania and their financial and organizational sustainability, thus contributing to the strengthening of civil society organizations, their independence, efficiency, accountability, and transparency.

The project envisages a series of activities focused on CSOs, through which the capacities, internal structures, and systems of CSOs will be strengthened, enabling them to act in a more accountable and transparent way, to work more efficiently, to partner and advocate more. An important focus of the project activities will be supporting of CSOs to explore new, alternative sources of funding to ensure financial and organizational sustainability.
