It is one of the poorest countries in Europe and suffers from debilitating political infighting, endemic corruption and trafficking in humans. However, the country is slowly making progress in its anti-corruption efforts and democratic and economic reform. USAID has invested over $386 million since 1992 in programs that assist the Albanian people on their new road to democracy and a free-market economy. We welcome your visit to our web site to read about our accomplishments and challenges.
