CCIS at the Launch of the New Switzerland–Albania Cooperation Programme

Last week, CCIS Senior Expert Prof. Dr. Nevila Xhindi had the honour of representing CCIS at the launch of the new Switzerland–Albania Cooperation Programme (2026–2028).
Through our Good Governance portfolio, CCIS has contributed tangible results most notably through STATEALB, a pioneering initiative focused on strengthening trust in and use of official statistics among key non-state actors, including civil society, academia, media, and the business community. CCIS will continue working closely with our Swiss partners to advance priority reforms, pilot innovative approaches, and strengthen capacities across institutions and communities.
The new Cooperation Programme builds on the long-standing Switzerland–Albania partnership and supports Albania’s European integration path through democratic governance, social inclusion, and sustainable economic growth areas that CCIS remains committed to reinforcing through evidence-based programmes and inclusive stakeholder engagement. We look forward to deepening this collaboration!
Congratulations to H.E. Ms. Ruth Huber, Ambassador of Switzerland to Albania, for her leadership and steadfast commitment to opening new pathways for opportunity and inclusion.
