# National Integrity System Assessment Albania 2016 URL: https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/national-integrity-system-assessment-albania-2016 Type: Publication or report Published: 2016-09-08 Updated: 2020-04-06 --- 08 September 2016 This National Integrity System (NIS) assessment analyses whether Albania’s state architecture is designed to operate with and promote integrity, and whether it does so in practice. It offers a comprehensive diagnosis of the capacities, internal governance and the effectiveness of 15 key institutions and sectors, or ‘pillars’. The NIS also examines the broader political, social and economic context in which these pillars operate. In offering this diagnosis, the assessment seeks to identify priorities for an anti-corruption reform agenda. ### Related publications ## [Whistleblower protection in EU enlargement countries - Towards EU standards and best practice](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/whistleblower-protection-in-eu-enlargement-countries) Publication • 16 April 2026 Whistleblower protections in EU candidate countries lag behind EU standards, with legal gaps and weak systems undermining accountability. ## [Bringing the Receipts: Political Finance Transparency in the Western Balkans and Türkiye](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/bringing-the-receipts-political-finance-transparency-in-the-western-balkans-and-t%C3%BCrkiye) Publication • 07 December 2023 This study analyses political finance regimes in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Türkiye.
