Tenders and Contracts awarded by the Albanian Road Authority are now accessible by Open Contracting standards. Following tenders<\/a> for municipalities, public-owned business companies, health, the Albanian Road Fund and Central Purchasing Agency, the non-profit organization AIS is also ensuring transparency over tender stages and contracts awarded by this key contractor authority in the country. The Albanian Road Authority<\/a> is the central planning institution for national road infrastructure contracts. The database and the algorithm <\/a>for corruption risk show that 40 out of 100 tenders are marked by a redflag, indicating potential for race inequality. Open Contracting – The Albanian Road Authority is one of the activities of the “Improvement of the Integrity of Public Contractors” Project <\/a>supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Ambassador of the Netherlands to Tirana, Mrs. Guusje Korthals Altes, was also present at the presentation of the database to a group of investigative journalists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
