TS07A: DESIGNING FFP LAND TENURE RECORDATION TOOLS: VCSP IN-COUNTRY DEPLOYMENT IN SIERRA LEONE [10593]

Commission: YSN & VCSP
Chair: Ms. Claire Buxton, New Zealand

Moderators: Claudia Stoecker, SmartLandMaps, Markus Koper, Trimble Land Administration & Angela Anyakora

As a first for the FIG YSN Volunteer Community Surveyor Program, an in-Country deployment with land administration experts (Trimble and SmartLandMaps) was held in engagement with a Sierra Leonean community to assist the Sierra Leone Government in its land reform policies and helping the Young Surveyors to build capacity through the appropriate technology. Come to learn more in an engaging and inspiring session.

Guiding Questions for Discussions:

• How can different means of land tenure recordation be meaningfully applied and complemented to create fit-for-purpose solutions for different areas in Sierra Leone?
• What is needed to create capacity, especially among young surveyors and para-surveyors, to assist in the documentation and registration of land tenure data?
