CRS in Albania
Much progress has been made in establishing democratic governance structures and developing economically.
The primary objective is to work with Caritas Albania to build the capacity of the Government of Albania to implement its action plan to fight human trafficking.

CRS' History in Albania
Catholic Relief Services resumed working in Albania in 2014 after an 8-year absence from the country.
In early 2015, Southern Albania experienced historic floods that damaged houses and livelihoods of 15,000 people. CRS helped Caritas Albania to provide immediate humanitarian relief to the most vulnerable, flood-affected families.
