After two years of CSOs’ consultation and cooperation, NRC Partners Albania announces the establishment of the Code of Standards for Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) in Albania. The Code is a self-regulatory mechanism aiming to improve the effectiveness of non-profit organizations, good governance, transparency, and accountability. The Code is built on international and regional experiences and models of CSOs’ standards, such as the Balkan Civil Society Development Network (BCSDN) and The Global Standard for CSO Accountability. The working group of 16 CSOs involved in the process adapted the Code to the dynamics of development of the non-profit sector in Albania and drafted the Code of Standard as an implementation framework that enables monitoring and self-assessment of the organizations. As a voluntary mechanism, the Code of Standards promotes learning and change, strengthens relationships with partners and stakeholders, and increases the legitimacy and credibility of CSOs.
