BookletPosition paperMonitoring and reporting of gender equality in landownership in Albania
The empowerment of rural women, gender-responsive land policies and the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal Indicators 5.a.1 and 5.a.2. Assessment report 2025

No results found.Agricultural land is an important productive asset for rural populations in Albania. Even though rural women are the backbone of the rural economy, they own just over one-tenth of the land. Limited land ownership hinders women’s empowerment and resilience, compromising the sustainability of agrifood systems. Albania has committed to gender equality, aligning national laws with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and linking its European Union integration efforts with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly on land rights Indicators 5.a.1 and 5.a.2. Responding to the lack of data on SDG Indicators 5.a.1 and 5.a.2 in Albania, this assessment reviews policy frameworks, progress made, challenges faced and key avenues for overcoming them to enable monitoring and reporting. Relevant to SDG 5.a.1, the Government of Albania indicated its readiness to collect sex-disaggregated data. However, some technical challenges remain, requiring stronger capacity building and technical support. The review and revision of the SDG 5.a.2 questionnaire supports Albania’s reporting process, presenting an opportunity to showcase recent legal reforms that align with the best practices tracked by the SDG 5.a.2 methodology. The assessment concludes that continuous support is needed for enhancing awareness and technical capacity among national institutions about the critical nature of monitoring and reporting of SDG 5.a.1 and 5.a.2. This assessment aims to assist national institutions, FAO and other interested parties in Albania to improve understanding about SDG Indicators 5.a.1 and 5.a.2, and the methodological considerations for collecting legal and statistical data. -
