Founded in 1992, Open Society
Foundation for Albania (OSFA) – Soros – has
now entered a new phase in its development. The evolution of the
new Albanian democracy prompted the Foundation to rethink its role
in the life of the Albanian society and its institutions. Faithful
to its mission of creating and consolidating an open society in
Albania, OSFA worked out a new plan of action to contribute to the
democratization and further integration of the country with the
EU.
In the present stage, OSFA has committed itself
to playing an important role. It operates on a number of planes
and cooperates continuously with other organizations locally as
well as with entities from the public, the private and the civil
society sector.
OSFA also interacts with the Network of
Open Society for Albania (NOSA) representing the membership of eight
non profit organizations and provides a part of the funding for
their activity. OSFA is at the same time the sole channel of communication
for NOSA with the Open Society Institute (OSI) in New York.
