Albania The Albanian National ICT Strategy was created from a project co-financed by the Open Society Institute, the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs, and UNDP Albania in 2006. Besides all efforts, Albania still lacks an official organizational structure for the implementation of the ICT strategy. One of the measures taken recently from the Albanian Council of Ministers is the creation of the "National Agency of Information Society and Electronic Government" (AKSHI), which will prepare a strategic policy, coordinate and supervise the implementation of the programs and projects for Information Society. Its structure and organics will be approved by the Prime Minister.

This especially refers to the aforementioned “key period” (2004 - 2007) – a number of important projects were planned, but most of them did not start or do not have funding secured.
