    Mainstreaming the National Land Consolidation Programme in North Macedonia - GCP/MCD/002/EC 2023
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    The average farm size in North Macedonia is 1.8-1.9 ha, which is considerably below the average farm size in the European Union of 16.6 hectares. In addition, the small farms consist of several parcels (usually 5-7), which are often distant from each other and lack access to irrigation, drainage and road infrastructure. The fragmentation of both land ownership and land is one of the greatest challenges for the country’s agricultural sector, having adverse effects on the productivity, competitiveness and efficiency of farms, and preventing further modernization and economies of scale. Since 2012, the country had already taken several steps towards the development of an operational National Land Consolidation Programme. This European Union-funded project has aimed to assist the Government in taking the final steps to make the Programmefully operational and to implement the first round of land consolidation projects on the ground, in order to improve the competitiveness of the country’s agriculture sector, in line with European Union policy.

    FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) and other development partners are working together with countries to prepare Voluntary Guidelines that will provide practical guidance to states, civil society, the private sector, donors and development specialists on the responsible governance of tenure. By setting out principles and internationally accepted standards for responsible practices, the Voluntary Guidelines will provide a framework and point of reference that stakeholde rs can use when developing their own policies and actions. Regional consultations on the proposed Voluntary Guidelines are an important part of the process. They bring together regionally representative, multidisciplinary groups to assess regional priorities and issues that should be considered when the Voluntary Guidelines are drafted. The regional consultation for Europe was hosted by the National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration, Romania, and was opened by Ms Irina Alexe, the Se cretary of State, Ministry of Administration and Interior. The consultation was cosponsored by the National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration, Romania; GTZ (Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit) and BMZ (Ministry for Economic Development), Germany; the World Bank and FAO. It was attended by 91 people from 28 countries and territories of the region who contributed their substantial knowledge and experience of the public sector, private sector, civil society and academia. Regional pa rticipants came from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
