The United States Agency for International Development Bosnia and Herzegovina (USAID - OM) awarded a project grant totaling $353,907 to Democracy International, Inc. to strengthen domestic observation of parliamentary elections in Albania from April 21, 2017 to October 24, 2017. As part of USAID's broader Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas, this grant aimed to enhance Albania's electoral processes and institutions by funding Democracy International to provide technical assistance and build the capacity of domestic election monitoring groups. The grant supported Democracy International's work with local partners to recruit and train citizen observers, conduct election day monitoring, and issue public reports on the electoral process to promote transparency and accountability. This assistance strengthened Albania's democratic development by encouraging free and fair elections through independent domestic election observation.
