EU4Migration in Albania is a four-year initiative (January 2025 – December 2028) funded by the European Union and implemented by IOM and UNHCR in close partnership with the Government of Albania. The project aims to strengthen Albania’s migration and asylum management systems in line with EU and international standards, contributing to the country’s EU accession process.
The project supports the development of more effective and efficient borders, reinforced institutional capacities, and improved protection and service delivery for migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees. It also focuses on promoting inclusive access to social and economic services and fostering community-level integration.
Some key areas of intervention are enhancing governance, policies, and coordination mechanisms for migration and asylum; strengthening technical and operational capacities for protection-sensitive border and reception management; supporting the inclusion of migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees in local systems and services and improving migration data collection and analysis to inform evidence-based policymaking.
