LAND TITLING II

closed

The Second Land Titling Project, covering 30 provinces and the Bangkok metropolitan region, will support the second phase of the Government's Accelerated National Cadastral Mapping and Land Titling Program. The principal project objective is to grant secure, documented tenure to rural landholders, thereby facilitating their access to institutional credit, improving investments in the land, and increasing agricultural productivity and family incomes. This objective addresses the key issues of rural poverty and underemployment. Project components consist of the following : a) accelerated cadastral mapping of 155,00 sq km of rural land; b) the issuance of full titles for undocumented lands and lands held under various types of pre-ownership certificates; c) improved land administration through decentralization of the land register; d) strengthening of the Central Valuation Authority; e) strengthening the Department of Lands; and f) provision of project related technical assistance, training and studies.
