About us

The development cooperation between Germany and Albania began in 1988. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has been active in Albania on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) ever since. In 2008 GIZ opened an office in Tirana. Currently 94 national and 14 international employees, and seven integrated specialists are working in the country (as of 31.12.2018). Once the poorest country in Europe, Albania could make some very significant advancements and is now a candidate country to the European Union (EU). Yet, some challenges remain: unemployment is high, particularly among young people, where the current rate is at 30 per cent. 40 per cent of the population work in jobs that are related to agriculture. Since a lot of the equipment in this sector is outdated, productivity is very low. Public Institutions are still weak, infrastructure needs further development and awareness of the environment is not very high. The government is currently undertaking reforms that address challenges in the economic, as well as in the governmental sector. GIZ in Albania is addressing the problems regarding unemployment. Doing so successfully requires a more competitive private sector. For this reason companies receive support in strengthening their capacities. In the agricultural sector, programmes are helping to improve productivity as well as the economic perspectives of people living in disadvantaged regions. Other focus areas are shortcomings in water supply. Moreover, in many cases waste treatment does not take place according to recent standards. Support in the environmental sector focusses on reducing pollution from solid waste, protecting biodiversity from overuse of the land and preventing floods, particularly in river basins, that might increase due to climate change. Getting closer to an accession to the EU is an integral part of the projects in Albania.

    Working with farmers for a green agriculture.    In cooperation with our partners Agrokoni and BioBest, over 5️⃣0️⃣ farmers participated in an open field day dedicated to Biological Control in greenhouse production.    🌾 During the event, farmers and agronomists had the opportunity to see in practice the successful application of beneficial organisms to control pests in sweet pepper cultivation.    👉 Implementation of this practice is intently related to environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, farmers and consumers health, as well as facilitation to the access of Albanian products towards the EU markets.    🤝 Thanks to the continuous work of farmers and all stakeholders, this plant protection method is being progressively adopted in greenhouse production.  .  .  .  #GIZAlbania #BiologicalControl #beneficalorganisms #greenagriculture #sustainablefarming

    Last week, we were in #Elbasan, #Mat, and #Klos to present the key findings of the #Social #Mapping and offer policy recommendations to the local municipalities. This evidence-based document serves as a valuable tool in systematically identify, document, and analyse the vulnerabilities of various disadvantaged groups. By analysing the multiple discrimination, we are not only looking at the symptoms and the manifestation of inequality, but we delve deeper to identify the underlying root causes that sustain inequality over time. The sessions were met with high interest from municipal representatives, including the mayors. Gledian Llatja Adelina Farrici Gender Alliance for Development Centre
