Regional conference to share experiences on land information
systems projects Uganda: 17-18th January 2013
--
Secure land rights are vital to the reduction of poverty in emerging economies
and enhancing economic development. With the support of international
development banks several African countries have initiated the implementation
of land information systems. Existing initiatives clearly show that the land
information systems projects are complex and require the attention of the
highest authorities in charge of land issues.
Many
countries still lack adequate information on land issues and effective land
administration systems. To help address this, IGN France International is happy
to inform you that the international consortium currently engaged in the
Design, Supply, Installation, Implementation of the Lands Information System
and Securing of Land Records (DeSILISoR) Project is organizing a regional
conference titled:
Modernization
of land administration and management systems Implementation of land
information systems (LIS):
Sharing
experiences, innovations and good practices. The
details of the DeSILISoR project will be presented and representatives from a
number of African countries will report on their different experiences. The
second day of the conference (18th January) will focus on “Land administration
projects: IGN France International’s expertise and feedback”
It
will provide relevant information on best practices, methodologies and
requirements to initialize land projects and make them successful. Several
projects IGN France International recently achieved in Africa and in Asia will
be presented. Based on shared experiences and valuable best practices, this two
day event has several objectives:
•Highlight the link between land
administration issues and economic growth
•Present several LIS projects in Eastern
African and see how by making land information available, they increase
confidence of land buyers and stimulate the economy
•Explore the common issues encountered during
the implementation phase related to technical tools and processes, human
resources, capacity building, and organization…
This
two day regional conference will be held 17-18th January 2013 in Kampala,
Uganda. Representatives from several countries will make presentations on the
main land issues associated with their country and their experiences with the
implementation of LIS projects. It will bring together representatives from
government, financial institutions and civil society and provide an opportunity
to share experiences, improve the quality of knowledge and enable governments
to manage these crucial cross-cutting issues.
