IDM produced a country specific policy output for Albania based on the in-depth expert study “Donor Strategies and Practices for Supporting Civil Society in the Western Balkans” conducted in 2013 – 2014. The aim of the policy brief was to strengthen the coordination and cooperation of donors and CSOs both on national and regional level, based on the principles of local ownership and support sustainability. The report “Donor strategies and practices for supporting civil society in the Western Balkans” provides an insight in the international donors’ relation towards civil society in the Western Balkans, rationales and motivations for their presence, the mechanisms they employ in supporting CSOs, as well as the perception of civil society in the countries in this region and its value. The research was carried out by BCSDN in cooperation with Queen Mary University of London in 2014. It is available for download here.
