Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity
Beginning 2002, the ABA worked to improve implementation of Albania's right of access to information legislation and administrative procedure code. As part of this endeavor, the ABA, in collaboration with local partners such as the Citizens Advocacy Office (CAO), developed forms for filing cases, distributed public education brochures, held a training series for nongovernmental watchdog groups and local public officials across the country, and assisted the CAO in developing a database tracking the status of cases filed under the right to information and administrative procedure codes.
In July 2004, a workshop at ABA ROLI's Annual Meeting brought together access to information experts from Romania, Croatia and Bosnia to share best practices with Albanian counterparts.
