Land Administration Program

closed

The Land Administration Project development objective aims at an integrated, and decentralized land administration system (comprising public and private entities) to provide users accurate information on urban, and rural land parcels, and effective land administration services (purchase, mortgages, cadastral and registry certifications, etc.) in a timely and cost-effective manner. The system will help increase land tenure security, facilitate land market transactions, develop national and municipal territorial plans, and develop management plans for protected areas, forests, and indigenous peoples lands. The main objective of the first component shall be the establishment of a National Property Administration System (SINAP), through strengthened legal, regulatory, and institutional frameworks. SINAP will include a National Territorial Information System (SINIT), a Registry of Norms (RENOT), and the Unified Registries System (SURE), which will be operated by public and private entities. Activities under the second component will benefit local populations, through massive regularization and registration of an essential asset: land. The project aims to cover different types of rural and urban land, and a diverse cross-section of Honduran society, including the rich and the poor, men and women, ladino, indigenous, and Afro-Honduran. The main output will be to incorporate land parcels within the project area into SINAP, while the project will finance pre-field work, such as aerial photography, field surveying of macro boundaries such as inter-municipal boundaries, parcel-level surveying and validation, conflict resolution, titling, and mass registration into SINAP. Finally, the third component covers the Project Coordination Unit (PCU) administration costs, specifically to implement monitoring and evaluation activities.
