erosion control measures are in poor condition. An effective incentive to production
and conservation of land and water resources in Albania is the right to secure tenure

or sustainable production on a long-term basis. Land rights must be robust, allow-
ing the user effective control over the resource, and the right to exclude others who
might adversely affect its management. An important part of Albanian government
policy should be to reduce disparities between urban and rural areas by improving
the rural situation.
