In 2018, the right-leaning watchdog Judicial Watch obtained documents revealing that the
U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under the
Obama administration had directed taxpayer dollars to East West Management Institute to fund activities in Albania that Judicial Watch alleged would give the country’s socialist government greater control of the Albanian judiciary.
Background
Th East-West Management Institute was founded in 1988 to support the developing governments of former states of the dissolving Soviet bloc in central and eastern Europe. The organization states that its work began a year before the fall of the Berlin Wall and was founded with the intent of helping states transition to post-Soviet life. The work of the Institute focuses on policy creation in European countries that supports government administration, court systems, economic development, and technical support. The institute also engages in advocacy programs to push for certain policies among citizens and encourage citizens to participate in the government. While most of the work conducted by the Institute still focusses on central and eastern Europe, it has expanded to conduct much of the same type of work in other countries in other parts of the world.

The East West Management Institute operates under four main areas of expertise that its programs fall under. These include the Rule of Law, supporting judicial systems; Economic Development, which supports infrastructure projects; Civil Society, which includes advocacy work around cultural issues; and Environment, which support environmentalist policies in target nations.
