21 BUDGET AND FINANCES 21
22 22 BUDGET AND FINANCES The major donors of the Children s Human Rights Centre of Albania are various, and most of them are foreign governmental and non-governmental organisations, or national foundations working in Albania. The major donors during 2003 were: The Olof Palme International Center, Dutch Government, Defence for Children International, Soros Foundation in Albania, European Commission, ECPAT Netherlands, Salvati Copiii, UNHCHR, Global March Against Child Labour, GTZ Germany and German Education and Training. The Government of Albania does not fund NGO s, thus the Children s Human Rights Centre of Albania does not receive any financial aid from the Central or Local Authorities. This makes it difficult the funding of programmes related to children rights and social services, since most of the financial contributions have to come from foreign sources. CRCA does not undertake income generating activities. From 2003 CRCA programmes are audited and comply with national and international standards of auditing. 4% 1% IR CCRA CLPO 16% 4% 35% Child Labour and Trafficking CRC Training 21% 19% M onito ring and R eporting Y outh E m ploym ent A dvocacy
