The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office invited eligible organisations to submit proposals for its Addressing Irregular Migration Programme in Albania, according to a British Embassy Tirana notice published on 20 October 2026. The call offered up to £750,000 through an Accountable Grant Agreement, with indicative delivery from December 2026 to March 2028, and set a proposal deadline of 19 November 2026.

The programme was intended to reduce irregular migration pressures from Albania by raising uptake of domestic economic, labour mobility and reintegration opportunities, and by strengthening informed migration decision-making in target communities. It named potential migrants, returnees and other vulnerable individuals as beneficiaries. FCDO said it reserved the right to award one or more grants, or none.

According to the notice, proposals would be assessed on strategic fit and outcomes (25%), approach quality (25%), value for money (20%), feasibility and partnerships (20%), and risk management and safeguarding (10%). Clarification questions were due by 12 November 2026, and outcome notification was indicated for 7 December 2026.
