TS04I: FIT-FOR-PURPOSE LAND ADMINISTRATION: MAKING IT HAPPEN [10523]

Commission: 7
Chair: Ms. Paula Dijkstra, Netherlands
Rapporteur: Mr. Mario Siukuta, Namibia


Fit for Purpose Land Administration (FFPLA) has been driven and supported by FIG C7, UN-Habitat, and the World Bank for over a decade. There are policy guides, implementation support, and academic publications. There also remains resistance within the land administration community. The state-of-play, best practices, and new developments will be shared and captured.

Guiding Questions for Discussions:

• Why is FFPLA still considered controversial? Is it?
• What are the latest country-level examples and technological developments?
