pacities of inter-institutional cooperation in pursuing and preventing the dangers deriving from cyber crime. Closer cooperation on the regional and global levels as well as the improvement of legislation for the security of networks and information in line with the EU practices is necessary. Safer Internet Practices Albania has adopted an action plan for the protection of children’s rights (DCM No. 182/2012). This document also foresees a few activities for the online protection of children. Pursuant to this plan, in February 2013 the largest electronic communications companies in Albania and the IT association company, AITA signed the Code of Conduct, as a self-regulatory practise. Upon the signing of this code the companies engaged in delivering technical filtration techniques and parental advice for the protection of children and young people from the illegal and harmful electronic communications. In the last few years Albania has periodically carried out awareness activities for a safer internet, as well as activities on the international day of Safer Internet. Raising the awareness for parental control, protection of children from the illegal and harmful internet and online media content requires more attention and the engagement of different institutions and actors, such as, the private sector, NGOs, media, schools and parent community. Albania is part of the Global Alliance against the Sexual Exploitation of Children in the Internet, established on December 5, 2012. The alliance countries have agreed to work in achieving four objectives: - - Increase the efforts for the identification of victims and ensuring that they will receive the necessary assistance, support and protection; Increase the efforts in investigating - the sexual exploitation cases against children on the internet and identify and prosecute persons violating the law; Increase the awareness of children, parents, educators and the community in general in relation to the dangers; Reduce the availability of child pornography on the internet and ri-victimization of children. Open governance through ICT The Open Governance Partnership (PQHOGP) is one of the most important instruments to stimulate government transparency at the global level, to increase civic participation in public life and to use the new technologies for the improvement of administrative efficiency and fighting corruption. The first OGP Action Plan for 2011-2013 was mainly focused in the increase of efficiency for the management of public resource services, by implementing measures in the field of fiscal transparency, access to information, utilization of information technology (IT) and participation of citizens in the process of development of public policies. Work was carried out during 2014 to draft a second OGP action plan. The drafting of this plan was carried out through a long consultation process with a wide participation of the interest groups. The second action plan entered into force in July 2014. Pursuing the government programme and the OGP plan, the document of the policy for the implementation of the open data was drafted and adopted by way of the Decision of the Council of Ministers No. 147, dated 18.2.2015. The portal for the transparency of budgetary expenses as a special feature in the website of the Ministry of Finance10 was established pursuant to the engagements for an open governance. http://www.financa.gov.al/al/raportime/thesari/pagesa-te-kryera-nga-drejtoria-e-pergjithshme-e-sherbimevefinanciare; 10 19
