Project leaders
"If nothing had changed, today we’d probably be telling a different story! A story of isolated attempts, partial solutions, and projects that end when the funding runs out. But this is not that story!"
"Digital transformation isn't only about technology. We all know that it's about changing mindset and work culture. And of course it takes time, trust and consistent effort."
"Since 2022, more than 96% of public services for both businesses and citizens in Albania have been offered online, a major milestone in our digital transformation. However, the challenge now lies in ensuring that these services are not full, are not only accessible but also efficient, high quality and transparent."
"Digital transformation requires time, trust, and shared awareness. It starts with the individual: strengthening the skills of local public officials lays the foundation for a cohesive professional community."
"I would use 2 words, sharing experience or sharing knowledge. Learning by doing actually is something which is always the best approach and the improvement is always possible. And of course cross-border cooperation can contribute to that."
"Our territory has specific needs, mainly focusing on digitalization of previous paper archives and also trying to merge the different already existing platform that does not allow the the regional authority to improve in the better way all the different contents"
