  16. ITC and United Nations University • The UNU and ITC entered into an agreement appointing ITC as an Associated Institution of the UNU • UNU-ITC Cooperation is directed at developing and carrying out a joint programme on Capacity Building in Disaster Management and in Land Administration • Programme activities are accommodated in two schools: • School for Disaster Geo-Information Management (DGIM) • School for Land Administration Studies

  17. Elements that require attention • National integrity, organisational integrity and individual integrity • Institutional and operational level • Reference is definition UN LA Guidelines: processes, data acquisition, data processing, data dissemination, information, tenure, value, use, land, land management

  18. Model Land Policy Land Policy Instruments Land Tools

  19. Elements

  20. Together 3D model land policy land policy instruments land administration Organisational Individual National institutional operational

  21. Characteristics • Target group: mid career people • Topics: matrix • Duration: 3 weeks • Single or series: base course + advanced course • Format: task based learning • Distance: multi usable courseware

  22. Impact of capacity development • Negative: theory and practice might not match, individual and institutional mismatch • Positive: any capacity development gives benefits, creates core of change agents
