ALB SO 1.3 PRIVATE ENTERPRISE GROWTH Growth of Self-Sustaining Private Enterprises in Target Sectors
Albania Competitive Enterprise Development (ACED) Albania Competitive Enterprise Development (ACED) project goal is to contribute to Albania's sustained, broad-based economic growth. Its objective is to support the sustained growth of Albania's non-agricultural enterprises, increase household income and create gainful employment by developing and strengthening the competitiveness capacity of existing enterprises as well as start-ups in targeted regions of the country. The project objectives will be achieved through three components: (1) strengthening trade and investment capacity; (2) increasing enterprise productivity; and (3) improving workforce development.
B-REDI Albania Smart Capital (Europe and Eurasia Regional):  .Funding will help Albania to increase integration with the West by improving its business environment and promoting market-oriented economic growth (in alignment with EUR/E&E Joint Regional Strategy Goal 2.2), thus creating more opportunities for U.S. companies and investors and sustaining America's competitive economic advantages.  The government of Albania must work to remove regulatory constraints that block healthy competition and private sector growth, and increase foreign direct investment.  Further development of small-and-medium enterprises (SMEs), primarily (though not exclusively) in the tourism and agriculture sectors will generate economic growth in poor regions plagued by low competitiveness, lack of compliance with international standards, and limited access to finance, among other problems.  Such constraints challenge Albania's ability to expand economic benefits across the country, particularly in rural areas outside of the capital.  .. ..With FY 18 funds, USAID's Smart Capital project will improve the competitiveness of the private sector by increasing access to finance for local businesses and enhancing workforce development through assistance to SMEs, chiefly in the agriculture and tourism sectors.  The project will help increase SMEs' access to finance and trade.  Based on prior experience in ensuring access to finance for farmers and agribusinesses, USAID will continue to focus assistance on facilitating finance options, such as grants and loans, while upgrading the capacity of SMEs to meet international standards.  .. Objectives for Albania: SmartCapital aims to boost economic growth through access to finance and smart technologies to SME entrepreneurs. The 3-year program will mobilize a significant contribution of resources on a 1:3 basis, through innovative and market-based solutions. SmartCapital interventions will be country-wide with attention to rural and under developed areas. Growth oriented services will be delivered through sustainable practices and a wide network of partners and beneficiaries.

Small Business Credit and Assistance (SBCA) Program The project was designed in two phases. For the first three years, USAID business development specialists and their local development partners covered the country, helping businesses apply for loans and providing them with the training and technical assistance needed to best use the new credit (and pay it back). In Phase I of the project, more than 4,000 businesses were assisted. Phase II began three years later. With its efforts on track to increase access to finance and a broad campaign underway to enhance business competitiveness, the project shifted its focus to making the largest possible positive impact on Albanias SME sector. USAID business development specialists had spent three years familiarizing themselves with the businesses and regional development partners and providing basic and broad technical support.

This entails strengthening the organizational capacity of professional associations, like the Union of Judges, and nongovernmental organizations and empowering them to take action. The project is also developing ways to improve media capacity to report on court cases, judicial reforms, and corruption.
