Abstract: This article will present the hypotheses on the decentralization of social interventions in Albania, it will contain proposals and recommendations regarding the most efficient way to use the current financial mechanisms but also innovative proposals regarding the implementation of new methods of integrated social service delivery possibilities.Decentralization of social interventions in Albania is a condition that can fully develop democratic process in the country.The idea of decentralization of social interventions aimed at promotion of a complex cooperation between different levels of government - State, Regions, Municipalities / Communes - to continuously operate to promote wider participation of citizens and social organizations in national and local government elections.Description of the current situation of decentralization, problems, achievements and providing social services in Albania, will be analyzed in this article.Innovative ideas on decentralization to disclose responsibilities, built on rules that make transparent decisions will guarantee the proper use of resources and a careful verification of the efficiency and effectiveness of interventions.Only a democratic process of this magnitude enables intelligent activation and available resources to support the difficult process to build an integrated system of social services. It is required to overcome the perception that social interventions are considered only as an expense but should be considered as an investment in human resources. Decentralization of social interventions - is in fact an "added value" that enables intelligent inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
