Preparation of new maps and the setting up a nationwide system for efficient use of satellite technology for surveying and mapping

General

The project is to increase inclusive and gender-equitable secure access and sustainable use/management of land and other natural resources in order to facilitate productive investments as well as social and economic development. In-depth assessments carried out on territorial rights and conflict dynamics will help to provide a clear understanding of the context and facilitate the formulation of effective strategies towards sustainable natural resource management (access and use). The project will also enhance institutional and community capacities to engage in land management/governance (use, access, and ownership) and related strategic dialogue.

Production of LIDAR and orthophotos for preparation of new maps for Montenegro for planning and development domestically and also for participation in the European Union program for data sharing and integration (INSPIRE Directive); establishment of a document management system.

General

The Project aims at securing land and resource rights of pastoralists, agro-pastoralists and crop farmers, while improving land management by supporting village and district land use planning and rangeland management in Kiteto, Bahi, Chamwino and Kondoa Districts in Tanzania. More broadly, it aims at influencing policy formulation and implementation on these issues.

The goal of the project is to contribute to the reduction of rural poverty in the Upper Tana River catchment through increased sustainable food production and incomes for 205,000 poor rural households, as well as sustainable management of natural resources. On land and natural resource governance, the project will develop and implement community action plans for livelihood improvement and sustainable NRM, it will provide support to Water-Resource Users’ Associations (WRUAs) to help them fulfil their responsibilities to protect and manage water resources, resolve water use conflicts and improve the availability/quality of water. It will also support the establishment of Community Forest Associations and support them in entering into co-management arrangements with forestry authorities for various forest reserve areas and it will support the use of participatory planning and mapping processes and develop the GIS and mapping capacity of 6 Counties.

The goal of the project was to enhance family food security for subsistence 15,600 farmers households, raise family incomes and improve the living conditions and development participation of small farm households, including women, in Al-Dhala through better management of their resource base. Land and natural resource governance related interventions intended to provide support for rangeland management through surveys and mapping, demarcation and the establishment of Grazing Management Groups in 30 community associations.

The programme drawn on the achievements of the District Development Support Programme, scaled up the decentralized development approach in 13 districts (Yumbe, Oyam, Apac, Busia, Bugiri, Mayuge, Luweero, Nakaseke, Masindi, Buliisa, Bundibugyo, Kyenjojo, Kamwenge) targeting landless people, small-scale farmers and fishers, and, in particular, women and youth among 100,000 households. To accelerate decentralization, the programme worked to support local economic development and strengthen the capacity of district governments to foster community development. Activities focus on community mobilization, agriculture and land management, and the development of access roads and water infrastructure. On land and natural resource governance, the programme supported the implementation of the Land Act in selected sub-counties, taking into account different tenure situations. It implemented the household mentoring approach giving a positive impact on co-spousal registration and women’s land access; and disseminated information through 52 awareness raising events on land tenure rights and training on land tenure and management policies. Through the programme, community-based management institutions were established; individual occupier land certificates were released and community and farm-based management plans for land, soil, water and vegetation conservation were developed.

The project objective is to ensure that there is a reliable, transparent and efficient real estate registration system supporting the real property markets and suitable systems for the management and use of State-owned immovable property. To achieve this, the project will: 1) improve the physical condition of the registration office premises and installation of automated systems and on-line services to provide more effective and efficient customer services in the registration of property rights (Activities include:(i) the development of new buildings and renovation of existing buildings; (ii)the supply of office equipment, furniture and computer systems; (iii) the development of a unified registration and cadastre system providing improved service provision, archiving and on-line access to notaries and other professionals; (iv) providing a complete real estate cadastre and building inventory; (v) improvement in the property valuation system; (vi) improving public awareness; (vii) improving the ongoing sustainability of the registration services through strategic and business planning; and (viii) pilot activities to analyze the scope and inventory illegal and unplanned development and the preparation of a Formalization Strategy for resolving these issues); 2) support improvements in the management of state property (Activities include: (i) improving the administrative systems and service delivery; and (ii) improving the automated State Property Management System); 3) provide the basic geodetic, mapping and cadastral data for the automated property registration and state property management systems (Activities include: (i) Establishing a series of 30-40 Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) to be used for current and future survey work in all disciplines; (ii) the production of a complete set of digital orthophotomaps through new satellite and aerial imagery; (iii)development of land parcel maps; and (iv) improving the ongoing sustainability of these services through strategic and business planning); and 4) coordinate joint activities relating to: (i) training; (ii) developing a joint information technology/ information management strategy; and (iii)policy and legislative development.

The project aims to implement part of the FAO Voluntary Guidelines for Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of Food Security. It also fits perfectly into the framework and guidelines for land policies in Africa of the Land Policy Initiative (LPI). This project is designed to carry out the national inventory of pastoral spaces and pastoral resources and to strengthen the structures of the Rural Code and the realization of the land development plan in two regions, namely Dosso and Zinder, which benefit from the support of the Sector Development Support (PADSR) funded by the European Union under the 10th EDF. Within the context of improving food security, the project aims to implement parts of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of the Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests (VGGT). It is further aligned with the Framework and Guidelines on Land Policy in Africa (F&G) by the Land Policy Initiative (LPI). In particular, the project aims at securing pastoral land systems in Niger. It sets out to create a national inventory of rangelands and pastoral resources. Further, the project will strengthen the structures under the Rural Code and implement land development schemes in two areas, namely the Dosso and Zinder regions that benefit from the support of the 'Projet d'Appui au Developpement du Secteur (PADSR)' under EU funding from the 10th EDF.
