    impact of various types of property rights, liability rules,
    and rules regarding contracts. This framework is used to

    Albania

    Reducing poverty continues to be one of
    the main priorities of the Government of Albania. Currently,
    Albania has an ample platform to provide social protection
    to its citizens through social insurance, social assistance
    and employment programs. However, these programs are not
    efficiently linked to each other, which can lead to unclear
    and occasionally overlapping roles among the programs. Among
    these social protection programs, Ndihma Ekonomike (NE) is

    As donors pledge growing support for
    protecting and managing forests to address climate change,
    the question of how to pay tropical countries to reduce
    their emissions from deforestation and forest degradation
    assumes greater urgency. Depending on the detailed
    implementation of REDD plus at a national and international
    level, forest nations may be able to secure funding from a

    Expert statements indicate that annually
    approximately 20 billion dollars will be needed to prevent
    90 percent deforestation in tropical countries. Development
    practitioners are eager to see the benefits from REDD plus
    initiatives shared with local partners. Equally important to
    understanding how local partners might benefit are questions
    such as, who should derive benefits from REDD plus
    initiatives, and how to ensure these initiatives reach the
