Land Registration & Cadastre System for Sustainable Agriculture Project (LRCSP)

closed

The Land Registration and Cadastre System for Sustainable Agriculture Project for Tajikistan will expand farm privatization through a repeater project to enable more rural people to become independent farmers and take management decisions in response to market forces, by providing them secure land use rights certificates distributed in a transparent and fair manner, and providing essential complementary support services. The project has the following four components: Component 1) will privatize 300 Collective and State Farm (CSFs) in a transparent and fair manner, issue at least 75,000 secure land use certificates, and establish a uniform, parcel-based system of registration of land use rights by further supporting the central office of the State Land Committee (SLC) in Dushanbe. Component 2) will involve three subcomponents: Information for farmers; On-farm irrigation and water management support; Integrated Pest Management and Demonstrations. Component 3) will support the incremental costs of using the existing Project Management Unit (PMU) to manage LRCSP. Component 4) will support capacity development within the President's Economic Advisor' Office to enable Tajikistan to address national policy issues associated with scaling up the Farm Privatization Support Project (FPSP) approach.
