Abstract

Albania is one of 191 nations that in September 2000 adopted the Millennium Declaration and agreed to fight for Millennium Goals’ achievement by 2015. Since then, Albania has delivered five National Reports (2002, 2004, 2005, 2009, 2010) on the progress made toward achieving MDGs and one Report (2007) is prepared by UNDP. In 2004, the Parliament of Albania passed a resolution in which not only supported the achievement of the 8 MDGs, but also included a 9th special goal: To establish and strengthen good governance. All the set of MDGs for Albania as defined by 2004, fully comply with the European Union integration’s agenda. The areas covered by MDGs, complement with the implementations required by both Lisbon Strategy and Stabilization Association Agreement. This study analysis the progress done in the achievement of each goal for the Albania case.
