Integrity Plans

Monitoring report on the implementation of integrity plans of local self-government units for 2023

The Integrity Plan is an important institutional mechanism with a preventive anti-corruption effect, in which the European Union has the function of a donor. The adoption of anti-corruption policies at the local government level is concretized through the coordination and implementation of anti-corruption initiatives provided for in Decision no. 247, dated 20.3.2015, of the Council of Ministers, “On the approval of the Cross-Sectoral Anti-Corruption Strategy 2015-2023” (SNKK). Within the framework of the functions for the realization of the objectives of the Albanian Government to guarantee good governance, the AMVV participates in the coordination of the process of drafting, monitoring and implementing integrity plans at the local level. The assistance of the AMVV for the drafting of Integrity Plans in Local Self-Government Units has already been provided to 28 municipalities in the country, 5 plans in 2019, 1 plan in 2021, 14 plans in 2022, 3 plans in 2023, 5 plans in the first 6 months of 2024. Meanwhile, the process for assistants in 8 municipalities for the drafting of integrity plans has begun, which will be completed at the end of 2024. The AMVV has also completed the process of monitoring the implementation of 16 integrity plans for 2023, which resulted in a national level of 58% qualitative implementation.
