Capacity Building among stakeholders

1. UN-HABITAT Capacity Building among stakeholders ISK/CASLE/UN-HABITAT Regional Workshop on Security of Land Tenure, 12th-13th June 2003

2. Do cadastres only matter to Surveyors ? • Land as a source of wealth and economic success. • Social and economic benefits of securing rights in land. • Facilitating private land ownership and security of tenure. • Securing private rights. • Recording public rights. • Developing a secure financial sector. • Providing a basis for taxation. • Providing a basis for land management. • Financing land registration.

3. Strengths and Weaknesses of the existing cadastral system Institutional structures and Responsibilities Technology Management Human resource development Legal and Regulatory framework Financing

4. Bridging the Map Registry Divide Registers Maps Cadastre Parcels Property Rights Topography Buildings & Dwellings Buildings Land Use Rights & Restrictions Land Use etc

5. A new role for Surveyors Moving: • from a technical to a managerial role. • from establishing mapping standards to enabling the production of bespoke social map making which recognizes occupancy rights. • from enforcing legal standards to influencing policy alternatives.

6. How can professional associations support these changes • Changing from a skill based towards community-based competency based frameworks. • Creating awareness programs and pilot projects with Private Sector, Government and NGO participation. • Use of Government and NGO contacts to create awareness.
