The AgroInvest project aims to accelerate and broaden economic recovery in Ukraine and contribute to global food security efforts by creating a more inclusive and competitive agricultural industry. In particular, AgroInvest is expected to increase awareness among rural landholders and producers of their land rights, facilitate the adoption of legislation needed for agricultural land reform, increase agricultural lending to small and medium producers, establish wholesale and regional markets, and strengthen the capacity of producer organizations and industry associations.

The Agriculture and Rural Development Support (ARDS) project will support broad-based, resilient economic growth through a more inclusive, competitive, and better governed agriculture sector that provides attractive livelihoods to rural Ukrainians. The project consists of three components:

Local Investment and National Competitiveness (LINC) was an ambitious project of the United States Agency for International Development. Its mission was to help increase competitiveness in cities and economic regions by systematically helping to improve business conditions and practices at both the local and national level.

LANDac is a partnership between Dutch organizations active in the field of land governance with the aim to optimize the link between land governance, sustainable development and poverty alleviation by generating, analyzing, synthesizing and disseminating knowledge. Some of its activities include PhD programmes, short-term research in collaboration with Southern partners, an annual Summer School on Land Governance, organization of meetings and lectures and providing a platform for a wider range of stakeholders involved in and interested in land governance in the Netherlands.

The project works with Government agencies including the State Land Agency of Ukraine and the State Registration Service of Ukraine to assess and improve land management policy and develop needed by-laws and regulatory acts. They also work with vulnerable land owners to ensure access to information and legal aid (through establishment of a resource center, outreach activities and legal services) to protect land rights and make informed decisions on selling or leasing land.

The project aims at supporting the Ukrainian government in establishing the legal and institutional framework for an open and transparent land market, review of land legislation, management and administration of state-owned (agricultural) land, spatial planning, land use planning, land market monitoring, institution building, training and capacity building

This list of countries is where an Land Governance Assessment Framework (LGAF) has been COMPLETED.

The LGAF is a diagnostic tool that is implemented at the local level in a collaborative fashion, that addresses the need for guidance to diagnose and benchmark land governance, and that is intended to help countries prioritize reforms and monitor progress over time.

This project aims at establishing a public service for precise use of GPS technology for surveying and mapping, and a digital base map for the whole territory of Ukraine including occupied areas, with a data content and accuracy equivalent to scale 1:50 000. This corresponds to what exists in most other European countries.

Challenges and justification for project

The purpose of the project is to improve the surveying and mapping of parcel boundaries by facilitating modern, satellite-based surveying through the country, in line with the situation in most European countries. It started with the establishment of 90 reference stations. The network will provide centimeter accuracy in real time.
