Oil and water don't mix: Recycling cooking oil is protecting the biodiversity of Albania's seas
Much of the economic activity in southwest Albania’s coastal areas hinges on the Karaburun-Sazan peninsula. But the health of the ecosystem has been at risk due to cooking oils being dumped in the sea. So restaurants and businesses have taken on a unique recycling initiative to reclaim this natural beauty.

I am your child
In the context of the Free & Equal campaign, we are working with parents of the LGBT community and youth to promote greater acceptance and inclusion for people coming from the LGBT community in Albania. We spoke with advocates of the cause. Watch the series.
What we do
UNDP is the UN's global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in some 170 countries and territories, working with them on their own solutions to global and national development challenges. As they develop local capacity, they draw on the people of UNDP and our wide range of partners. Present in Albania since 1991, UNDP works with the Government and People of Albania, including its civil society and businesses, to strengthen the rule of law, promote human rights and freedoms, protect the environment and support economic and social reforms for social inclusion and an equitable society.
