Evidence snapshot for Albania
Albania has pursued wide-ranging digital and gender-focused government reforms. Gender-responsive budgeting efforts have scaled from tracking 9 to 77 gender-equality programmes, with public investment rising from roughly $90 million (2017–2019) to over $803 million (2025–2027), while labour inspection has been modernised through MIRA, an AI system that now directs 70% of 12,000+ annual inspections and achieved a 30% improvement in predicting undeclared work. Digital education is expanding with 216 SmartLabs established and a target of 35,000 students and 4,000 youth equipped with digital skills by 2029, and e-Albania's digital portal now offers roughly 1,226 services (95% of central-government procedures) with completed applications rising 40% by 2025. However, the evidence documents outputs and early adoption rather than long-term outcomes or equity impacts across all initiatives.
