EU for Property Rights Phase II - AL2021AAP Land sector reform is a top priority for the Government of Albania as also identified in the National Strategy for Development and Integration (2014-2020). This action will contribute to the strengthening of the protection of the fundamental right to property in Albania, and Albania¿s capacity to guarantee this right in practice as one of the fundamental human rights, provided through a regulated property system which provides clear and secure property titles. Currently, the protection of the fundamental right to property cannot be enforced due to the fragmentation, uncertainty and complexity of legislation and sub-laws, informality, the proliferation of illegal buildings, and the past process of mass registration of property titles requiring the compensation of owners, which has placed a large burden on the national budget. Attention also needs to be paid to ensuring women¿s right to property are fully respected.&nbsp;This Action is the second phase of the IPA 2020 EU for Property Rights Programme. It shall build on its activities through the improvement of the legal property rights information which will be corrected, updated and made publicly accessible, thus establishing an efficient and transparent property registration and integrated land management system. &nbsp;The EU for Property Rights Programme financed under IPA 2021 will be accomplished through: (i) the continued improvement of Immovable Properties¿ Data Quality, through which the spatial data and legal property rights information will be corrected, updated and made publicly accessible; (ii) the Re-engineering of State Cadastral Public Services, and, (iii) preparatory actions for setting up the land parcel based agricultural monitoring system according to the EU standards. &nbsp;In addition, this action is complemented by a parallel EU-funded project (Horizontal Facility/D-Rex) focusing on the follow-up of the implementation of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) judgements related to property rights in Albania. Under the third phase of the same Facility, the project will support the effective execution of the ECtHR judgments and improve the implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) in Albania.&nbsp;By establishing a regulated and solid property rights framework in Albania and providing a clear and secure property titles for all those entitled, the EU assistance will contribute to the consolidation of the right to property and its enjoyment by the people. Indirectly, it will contribute to the continuous development of the land market in Albania and the competitiveness of the economy and therefore also to improved employment prospects.
