Abstract

The local government, as the government closest to the community, aims to meet the needs that are the most useful to the community. Local government itself is essentially the result of the decentralisation of central government through the division of the power horizon, depending on the form of government in a political society. The level of efficiency and effectiveness in services and in meeting the needs of the community depends on the functioning deriving from decentralisation in the political, administrative and financial directions. Different countries have a strong tradition in the organisation and functioning of local governments. Citizen sensitivity makes many local administrative and financial decision-making problems for local issues more democratic for direct democracy. Like all Eastern European countries, Albania, after the system changed in 1990, implemented two reforms to regulate the effectiveness and quality of local services for the community.
