Albania: Corruption
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department is taking steps to help support Albania to tackle corruption.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) remains a consistent supporter of efforts to tackle corruption in Albania, through diplomatic engagement and programmes funded by the UK's Integrated Security Fund (ISF) and FCDO Official Development Assistance (ODA). Ongoing support includes working with Albania's security and justice institutions to strengthen accountability and transparency, support to lawmakers to improve the effectiveness of legislation, and empowering journalists to act as effective watchdogs for corruption in public procurement and appointments.
