Description

The Land Administration Project aims to a) ensure equitable access to land and improve land tenure security by providing land administration services in selected rural, peri-urban, and urban areas; and b) enhance natural resources conservation through the consolidation of the National System of Projected Areas and indigenous peoples territories. There are three project components: 1) The first component will improve policy and regulatory framework for land related issues including sales and rental markets, protected areas, indigenous peoples' lands, and land valuation and taxation regime. It will strengthen national executing agencies and local institutions by enabling them to apply new policy directives related to land regularization and administration services. The component will also support co-management mechanisms to ensure coordinated decisions and actions regarding land administration. 2) The land regularization service component will complete a systematic legal cadastral survey and regularization in the project area. 3) The consolidation of protected areas and indigenous territories component will support completion of land tenure identification, demarcation of priority protected areas, and demarcation of indigenous peoples' comarcas and territories.
