ALG-CADASTRE

closed

By supporting the implementation of the cadastre, the project will help the government of Algeria to create a legal and institutional framework to ensure a functional land market; to foster private investment in agriculture, housing, and industry; and to lay the foundation for a sound land-taxation policy. Project objectives are to: (a) strengthen the institutions that implement the cadastre; (b) support an increase of annual land registration over four years; and (c) develop cadastre-based information systems for taxation and other land-related uses. The project includes three components: (a) a four-year cadastral mapping program for 3 million ha of rural land and 36,000 ha of urban land, during which mapping techniques will be tested, and computerized land registration and map production will be introduced; (b) strengthening of the National Cadastre Agency; and (c) provision of project-related technical assistance, training, and studies.
