How can Albania benefit from the EU’s €6 billion Growth Plan for the Western Balkans?
The EU’s ambitious Growth Plan represents a major opportunity for Albania and the wider region to boost economic development, strengthen regional cooperation, and advance toward EU integration.
To help ensure the success of this initiative, the Swiss Embassy in Albania, in partnership with the Cooperation and Development Institute, joined a group of EU experts to exchange experiences on how public institutions and civil society can work together to monitor and guide the implementation of the plan.
Through this exchange, we explored best practices from across Europe that show the value of inclusive dialogue, transparent processes, and active citizen engagement. These are essential for ensuring that the Growth Plan addresses real needs, builds public trust, and delivers long-term, sustainable impact.
Switzerland is committed to supporting Albania’s efforts to strengthen democratic participation and good governance—core elements in making the most of this transformative investment.
