General Cadastre and Land Registration Project

closed

The General Cadastre and Land Registration Project aims to (1) establish an efficient system for securing land titles of real estate owners which can be expanded nationwide; (2) create a general cadastre system providing clear and current definition of real estate parcels forming the basis for real estate registration; and (3) set up a simple, safe, and cost effective procedure for land transactions. There are three project components. The first develops cadastre by supporting aerial photography, base map development, cadastral surveys, and a Land Information System; by strengthening national and local cadastre offices; and by supporting the Cadastre Implementation Group that manages the cadastre component. The second component establishes and operates a land book system, trains staff, and provides institutional support for local land book offices and the land book implementation group. The third component provides institutional strengthening by supporting the project coordination unit; providing technical assistance to guide implementation and enhance planning and management capacity of the project agencies; and information system design and development and assistance in carrying out cost recovery studies.
