Bosnia

Under the leadership of Albany directors, the Communications Regulatory Agency was established and became a model of a successful independent telecommunications and broadcast regulator. Albany also conceived and helped create a self-regulatory body for the printed press in Bosnia, the first of its kind in the region.

Kosovo

Albany’s people oversaw the Media Advisory Board in 2000 and taught journalists and the general public about the rights and responsibilities that accompany freedom of expression. Albany has also assisted in the development of the Independent Media Commission’s regulatory policies.

Iraq

In 2003, Albany established a legal framework for media policy in the post-Saddam era and a converged independent regulatory structure for broadcasting and telecommunications and assisted in setting up the country’s public service broadcaster. Albany continues to advise on Iraqi media policy with follow-up visits and consultations. In addition, Albany provided expert input into the UK Government’s strategic communications plan for Southern Iraq.

Afghanistan

In 2011, Albany advised the Afghan government on broadcast policy and licensing process to move toward a licensing regime and regulatory framework that promotes new, diverse voices and complies with international standards. Albany also advised UNAMA on its communications plan to support the Afghan National Development Strategy.

Lebanon

Albany provided strategic communications support and advice on Human Security to the Lebanese Palestinian Dialogue Committee. The project foresaw the development of a bottom-up comprehensive strategic communications and public outreach plan aimed at supporting and improving the Government of Lebanon's work with the Palestinian refugee community living in Lebanon, resulting in the production of a refugee camp Security Plan.

Sudan

Our team of communications professionals have been working and promoting peace and development in Sudan since 2006, and continue to do so today for a variety of clients, including the UN, the European and African Unions and the UK and US governments.

Somalia

Albany are assisting the nascent Somali government and African Union's Mission to Somalia, AMISOM, to provide strategic communications effects to help stabilise the state. Having been there since 2006, with a team of over 60 people, Albany is also providing support for the Somali run radio station, Radio Bar Kulan, as well as telecommunication and media regulatory framework.

Rwanda

Albany was hired to help the Media High Council of Rwanda in efforts to restructure its staff and to thrash out a new cooperative way of working with licensees and stakeholders for the improvement of the country’s media sector.

DRC

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, Albany are advising the newly formed communications regulator, reviewing and making recommendations on communications legislation and policy, and working to develop media law assistance and outreach capabilities of local civil society organisations.

Sierra Leone

Albany produced a National Communications Strategy for Sierra Leone in 2009, designed to support the development of a democratic culture in Sierra Leone that promotes good governance and the widest possible involvement of the people in decision-making processes.

UAE

Albany worked with the Telecommunications Regulatory Agency in the United Arab Emirates to develop a transparent and independent regulatory framework to serve as a model for the Middle East. This project included providing comments to a code applicable to Internet content and making recommendations on organisational changes necessary to incorporate content regulation into an already-existing regulatory authority.

Jordan

Albany is contracted by UNESCO Jordan to conduct a capacity building project for Jordanian media professionals and stakeholders to enhance professional and accurate reporting during elections.
