USAID signed a cooperative agreement with the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) to implement a $475, 000 project “Promoting Transparency in Political Financing in Albania.” Reducing corruption in politics begins with political party financing.

These measures can contribute to building political commitment that is responsive to growing public interest for systematic party finance reform.
