ORI team processes the data to adapt them according to the database methodology & criteria. When you start the search, at least one of the Required Fields of research must be complete before you print SEARCH. The more criteria you chose, the finer your search becomes.

Required Fields / Areas of research are:


1. Partner countries:: MWith partner countries are meant the countries where institutional partners of Albanian organisations in a particular project, are registered.
Selection options may be:

  • One partner country, or
  • Two or more partner countries, or
  • All partner countries or No selection at all produces hits that do not take the geographical distribution into account. In this case the search should be carried out through AT LEAST one or two other remaining fields of research: The Donor or / and Sector of Activity.
2. The Donor: The identified donors are mainly development agencies classified according to the country they represent or, international institutions like the UN, EU, World Bank, etc. A state (or donor organization) may support a given initiative directly or through a larger /umbrella programme.

Options for selection may be:
  • One donor, or
  • Two or more donors, or
  • All donors or No selection at all produces hits that do not take the donor distribution into account. In this case the search should be carried out through AT LEAST one or two other remaining fields of research: The Partner Country or / and Sector of Activity.
3. Sector: : SIdentified sectors aim to offer a presentation as accurate and concise as possible of regional interoperability in Balkans. The sectors have been chosen in function of the intensity of the flows of regional cooperation, and also based on the approach of existing donors. Selection options can be:
  • One sector, or
  • Two or more sectors, or
  • All sectors, or
  • No selection or No Selection at All produces hits that do not take the Sector distribution into account. In this case the search should be carried out through AT LEAST one or two other remaining fields of research: The Partner Country or / and Donor.
