Evidence snapshot for Albania
Since 2012, Albania has embedded gender analysis into national budget planning, growing tracked gender-equality programmes from 9 to 77 and related public investment from roughly $90 million (2017–19) to over $803 million (2025–27). The country is digitalising schools through a $145 million World Bank programme that had established 216 SmartLabs by mid-2025, targeting 35,000 students and 4,000 youth by 2029, alongside a separate €27 million Council of Europe Development Bank loan reaching 600+ schools. Albania's forest and pasture environmental services programme helped 229 upland communities sustainably manage 12,320 hectares, with female participation on forestry boards rising from 31% to 50% and estimated emissions avoidance of 811,262 tonnes of CO2-equivalent over 20 years. Most published evidence documents allocations and programme counts rather than independently verified outcome changes; outcome-level evaluation remains a gap.
