Albania published its 3rd National Communication under the UNFCCC with a chapter on gender equality

Under the auspices and with the support of UNDP, WECF’s gender expert Anke Stock developed guidelines assisting Albania to abide by UNFCCC’s reporting requirements regarding gender equality issues.

The basis for these guidelines were a small analysis done by desk research on Albania’s gender situation and on the information acquired during the process of the drafting of the 3rd Communication to the UNFCCC.  Furthermore, it relies on the results of stakeholder interviews undertaken in early 2016 by a national consultant (Alma Bako) and of a workshop with local and national governmental institutions, academia and CSOs in February 2016 in Tirana organised by UNDP Albania. The Gender Responsive National Communications Toolkit (2015) by UNDP serves as the systematic approach for the development of these guidelines.
