UNOPS: EU for Property Rights Project Advances Property Rights and Land Administration Reform in Albania

The EU for Property Rights (EU4PR) project, a €9.5 million EU-funded initiative implemented by UNOPS, has commenced its implementation phase in Albania. The project, running from 25 September 2025 until November 2028, aims to support Albanian authorities in strengthening property rights through the modernization of land administration systems, addressing challenges in property registration and cadastral data management, and improving the transparency, and accessibility of property-related information. The project will also support piloting of the Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS), aligned with EU standards.
 

To ensure alignment among key stakeholders, a high-level roundtable was organized by the State Cadastre Agency (SCA), bringing together representatives from national institutions, development partners, and implementing agencies. The roundtable provided an opportunity to present the project’s objectives, as well as to reinforce coordination with the State Cadastre Agency).

Following the roundtable, the EU4PR project team, together with representatives of ARDA, conducted a field visit to the villages of Roshnik and Kutalli in the Berat region. The visit focused on the presentation and pilot implementation of the LPIS methodology and enabled direct engagement with ARDA inspectors. This hands-on field activity supported practical implementation, on the ground, and marked an important step toward advancing the LPIS pilot under the EU for Property Rights project.
