ID - LAND ADMINISTRATION

closed

The Land Administration Project will foster efficient and equitable land markets and alleviate social conflicts over land, through acceleration of land registration in support of the initial phase of the Government of Indonesia's (GOI's) long-term land registration program to register all non-forest parcels, and through improvement of the institutional framework for land administration needed to sustain the program. Secondly, the project will support GOI's efforts to develop long-term management policies. The main components of the project are: (a) systematic registration of 1.2 million parcels in ten districts in Java, relying on special systematic adjudication teams capitalizing on economies of scale, cadastral surveying by private firms, utilization of new technology such as global positioning systems (GPS), and dissemination of information to the public; (b) development of a database of land laws and regulations, and assistance to GOI's program for reviewing and drafting land laws and regulation; (c) long-term development of the Land National Agency's (BPN's) institutional capacity for land administration, mostly through support to BPN's training and education units, training, scholarships and studies on ways to improve tenure security for customary (adat) land rights; and (d) an integrated program of studies, seminars and workshops on selected topic areas in land management while improving inter-agency coordination and drawing on international experience.
