Albania's government has expressed its commitment to leading recovery and reconstruction efforts. Options to finance recovery are budgetary relocations, donor promises, loans or grants from multilateral and bilateral agencies, and / or private sector contributions.

A variety of principles guide the recovery strategy, aimed at improving the quality of recovery, stressing equality and inclusion, and promoting risk reduction. The recovery strategy is based on sustainability and sustainability-oriented approach “better build” (BBB).

BBB interventions are aimed at strengthening risk management by government and communities' disasters; reducing risks and vulnerability to future disasters; and in order to establish the economy and rebuild living, which differ from interventions that simply return and resume at pre-catastrophy levels. The additional focus must be set to:

• Use of efficient energy technologies in the reconstruction process;
• Safe, sound and friendly management towards the environment of solid and dangerous waste;
• Recycling as much as possible of the large amount of waste and waste;
• Use of environmentally friendly building materials;
• Avoiding possible negative influences in the environment;
• The prioritization of gender equality and non-discrimination treatment as they generate overall prosperity and are not only a factor of equality. As a reminder, the disaster recovery process can create opportunities for prosperity through job creation programs that can begin and expand growth, as well as economic, social and political resistance to future disasters. /ToopChannel
