Monitoring Gender-Responsive Budgets and Social Services in Albania

Civil society is playing an important role in monitoring gender responsive budgeting and social services for women and girls in Albania. UN Women and the Center for Community Development "Today for the Future", presented in June 2024 the findings of five reports that examine policies and budgets for social services in several municipalities across the country: Gjirokastër, Dropull, Delvinë, Vau i Dejës, and Fushë Arrëz. Such initiatives help improve the transparency and accountability of local governance. These initiatives are part of the UN joint program "Leave No One Behind," funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.
