Follow-up to The Country Profile on the Housing Sector
The follow-up workshop to the Country Profile on the Housing Sector – Albania was organized in Tirana, from 16 to 17 February 2004 at the invitation of the Ministry of Territorial Development Planning and Tourism. The workshop aimed at reviewing the developments in the housing sector and the implementation of the Country Profile’s recommendations. It also served to launch the Country Profile in Albanian. It was held with financial support from the Government of the Netherlands.
The Country Profile on the Housing Sector in Albania was undertaken at the request of the Ministry of Territorial Development and Tourism followed by the decision of the UNECE Committee on Human Settlements in September 2001. An international team of experts was established and undertook a research mission to Albania in February 2002 in close cooperation with the Ministry. At the 64th session of the Committee on Human Settlements, the Ministry reported that the review’s conclusions and recommendations had already proved useful in the further development of Albania’s housing policy.
