Gender equality is a key to eliminating poverty and hunger, as it has been demonstrated by the FAO throughout its research worldwide. As part of the FAO efforts on generating evidence and knowledge, and in compliance with the FAO Policy on Gender Equality, the purpose of the Country Gender Assessment of Albania is to contribute to the production of knowledge for better informed, targeted and gender sensitive actions in agriculture and rural development. It has been produced as it is required in the FAO Policy on Gender Equality. This Gender Assessment has already served as a resource for the Country Programming Framework signed between the FAO and the Government of Albania in 2015 and it is meant to inform FAO professionals, other UN agencies, staff from the government of Albania, NGOs and professionals who work in agriculture and rural development in Albania. It is also meant to be an awareness-raising tool for the wider public. This gender assessment points out some of the major gender inequalities that need to be considered by policy makers and project managers according to available data, and identifies further research needs in a wide range of areas, including fisheries, forestry, local farmer’s cooperation, and women’s real contribution to GDP considering their overwhelming contribution as unpaid family farmers.
