Position Paper on Governance of Agriculture and Rural Development

The preparation of this position paper was triggered from concerns of farmers and rural entrepreneurs vis-à-vis the many challenges they face in ensuring complementary public support and assistance for their economic activities.
This position paper represents an effort to address some of the main challenges and provides recommendations to tackle the barriers that hinder the public support programs and instruments from being effective and produce tangible and sustainable results.

Albanian Rural Parliament

The rural parliament provides an important opportunity for policy makers, public and private institutions, civil society organizations, donors’ community, academia and others to review current progress on rural development and promote changes in policies and practices to ensure that the “Rural Agenda” will be developed and it will be inclusive to all people living in rural communities, as well as will enable their participation in the process.

Albanian Rural Parliament represents a critical instrument to offer know-how and bring awareness to institutions to address the problems that rural development in Albania faces.
