The French Development Agency (AFD) has proposed a financial and technical support to the Government of Albania (GoA) together with the World Bank, through a Development Policy Loan (DPL) based on a Policy Matrix built upon 3 pillars:
- Pillar 1: Promoting women’s access to assets through the recognition of ownership of immovable property;
- Pillar 2: Levelling the playing field for women to access income-generating opportunities;
- Pillar 3: Strengthening institutional arrangements for gender-informed policymaking.
These three pillars contribute to women’s economic empowerment (WEE) and should support the GoA in the effective implementation of the ongoing reforms, which represent a major challenge to reduce gaps between women and men in terms of equal access to immovable property, labour market participation, employment, and entrepreneurship.
The DPL is accompanied by a two-years of Technical Assistance (TA) program provided by Expertise France (EF), under the project “Technical Assistance Program in support to gender equality in access to economic opportunities”.
