Our Partners

Helvetas Albania could not achieve systemic and lasting change without the trust and commitment of its partners. We are grateful to our donors — the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the Government of Sweden (Sida), the European Union, the Government of the Netherlands (MATRA) and GIZ — whose support has enabled us to design and implement impactful programs across Albania.

Equally important are our strategic partnerships with organizations such as Partners Albania for Change and Development, The Hague Academy for Local Governance, and other regional and international actors. These collaborations strengthen our expertise and allow us to innovate and scale successful approaches in areas ranging from decentralisation and governance to youth employment, social sciences, and sustainable economic development.

At the local level, we work closely with municipalities, ministries, civil society organizations, universities, and private companies. Their dedication ensures that our work remains rooted in local realities — whether improving preschool education and waste management, supporting agribusiness and ICT growth, or building inclusive career guidance services for young people.

Finally, Helvetas Albania benefits from the organization’s global alliances and networks. This brings added value and international expertise, while Switzerland’s reputation for neutrality and high standards helps us build trust with institutions, businesses, and communities. Together with our partners, we continue to promote inclusive governance, sustainable economic development, and evidence‑based policymaking for a better future in Albania.
