Synopsis (short abstract) Over the past 17 years, FAO has played an active role in supporting agricultural and rural development in Albania. The Organization has provided a variety of technical assistance, ranging from policy advice to natural resource management, land administration, forestry and fisheries interventions. The current focus is on transforming the country’s agriculture sector to support the European Union integration process, agricultural value chains and rural entrepreneurship for smallholders, with special emphasis on youth and women.

Smallholders and family farms in Albania - Country study report 2019
Regional TCP on Empowerment of smallholders and family farms (TCP/RER/3601)
2020

Also available in:

No results found.

The background for conducting country studies on the challenges, needs and constraints of smallholders and family farms in seven countries has been a wish to further strengthen the Regional Initiative and develop the initiative towards a stronger programmatic approach at both the regional and country levels. To provide support to smallholders and family farms, there has been a need to develop a better understanding and knowledge platform of the main challenges, needs and constraints of smallholders and family farms in the specific country context. Even though many of the challenges are the same throughout the region, there are still significant variations among the countries; it is important to recognize and understand these variations when designing support to smallholders and family farms in each specific country. It has been the objectives of the country studies first to analyze the development trend and current state of smallholders and family farms in the specific country, second to study the current political priorities and policies affecting smallholders and family farms, and finally, based on the conclusions made, to provide recommendations, mainly at the policy level, on how to further support the development of commercial family farms and at the same time ensure in general inclusive growth, improved rural livelihood for women and men and the reduction of rural poverty for all. It is hoped that each country study will not only be relevant for FAO but also for governments, donors and other international organizations when formulating policy and preparing programmes.

Statistical Capacity Country Profile for SDG Indicators (Albania)
Statistical Capacity Assessment for the FAO-relevant SDG Indicators 2018/19
2019

Also available in:

The Office of the Chief Statistician (OCS) conducted the Statistical Capacity Assessment for the FAO-relevant SDG indicators in early 2019 to provide insights about member countries' national statistical systems in regard to their capacity to monitor and report the 21 SDG indicators under FAO custodianship. The survey collected information on the national coordination mechanisms for the SDG reporting, current data availability and plans for filling data gaps, and needs for technical assistance. The respondents were mainly the National Coordinators for SDG Monitoring or the SDG focal points nominated by the Directors General of National Statistics Offices. The results will assist FAO-HQ and decentralized offices in designing targeted interventions and mobilizing resources to support countries in collecting, analyzing and using the SDG indicators in decision-making.
