Book (series)Respecting free, prior and informed consent
Practical guidance for governments, companies, NGOs, indigenous peoples and local communities in relation to land acquisition
2014Improving governance of tenure is the objective of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (Guidelines), which serve as a reference and set out principles and internationally accepted standards for responsible practices. The Guidelines state that responsible investments should do no harm, safeguard against dispossession of legitimate tenure right holders and environmental damage, and should respect human rights. This technical guide on Respecting free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) sets out practical actions for government agencies to respect and protect FPIC and for civil society organizations, land users and private investors globally to comply with their responsibilities in relation to FPIC, as endorsed by the Guidelines. -

Book (series)Compulsory acquisition of land and compensation 2008
Also available in:
No results found.Compulsory acquisition is the power of government to acquire private rights in land without the willing consent of the owner or occupant in order to benefit society and is often necessary for social and economic development and the protection of the natural environment. The exercise of these powers is frequently contentious and problematic. The guide explains what compulsory acquisition and compensation are, and what constitutes good practice in this area, examining the consequences of poor legi slation, procedures and implementation. It is likely to be of most use in countries that are seeking to understand good practice in this area and to improve their own legislation, procedures and implementation in compulsory purchase and compensation in the interests of society as a whole.

BookletStrengthening the status of the spouse and partner in Albania’s agricultural businesses
Policy paper
2024Also available in:
No results found.In Albania, despite many positive policies and legal developments regarding gender equality, the ownership and management of agricultural businesses remain heavily male-dominated. Only 8 percent of women own land, which places women in an economically dependent position and makes them more vulnerable to shocks and crises (Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, 2016). This policy paper examines the experiences of three European Union countries – Belgium, France and Spain – to showcase good practices for enhancing the role and status of spouses and partners in agricultural businesses. In line with Directive 2010/41/EU, these countries have amended their legislation to formally recognize the economic contributions of spouses and partners in farming operations. Through these reforms, the spouse or partner of an agricultural business owner or manager is granted legal status that entitles them to decision-making rights over the agricultural business and social protection benefits.As Albania moves toward European Union accession and continues its commitment to gender equality, it can benefit from these examples to strengthen women's rights in agriculture and advance their economic empowerment. The good practices can be helpful for other countries seeking solutions to improve the status of women and men in agricultural businesses. -
