The Albanian version of the Convention is published in the Review for the Rights of Children and Youth in Albania a publication of CRCA in partnership with Save the Children in Albania.

- Production and Broadcasting of a documentary film on Child Labour in Albania. The film is under preparation and will be shown in one of the Albanian national TV's.
