  2. Topics • Governance • Governance Issues in Land Sector • Study Objectives • Study Participants • Draft Conceptual Framework • Approach

  3. Governance • Governance is a topical issue • Some well established indices: • Weberian Comparative Study (1970-1990) • Global Competitive Index (1979-2005) • Corruption Perception Index (1995-present) • World Governance Assessment (1996-2000, 2001-2006) • Freedom House (1972-present) • Afrobarometer (1999-2003) • Global Integrity Index (2003-2004, 2006) • Bertelsmann Transformation Index (2003, 2006) • Useful, but limited in ability to track changes in time or identify specific policy interventions

  4. Governance in the Land Sector • Governance is an issue in the land sector: • High profile corruption cases in the land sector (Kenya, Indonesia, China, Tanzania, Cambodia) • TI survey in South Asia in 2002 – land 2nd most prone to corruption in Pakistan, 3rd in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka • Thailand – university study in 1999 found land fourth most prone to corruption (after Customs, Police and Revenue Departments) • FAO study on Governance in Land Sector (2007) • Not just a developing country issue (e.g. van der Molen 2007)

  5. Study Objectives Undertake a study of governance in the land sector that comprehensively identifies the issues that need to be addressed and provide practitioners as well as policy-makers with information on how to tackle them in an integrated manner at the country level.

  6. Study Objectives The study will: • establish a conceptual framework for good governance in the land sector • apply this framework to specific country cases (Kenya, Indonesia, Peru, Kyrgyz Republic) • aim to translate case study results and the conceptual framework into a set of indicators that could be regularly monitored within country and at a more global level.

  7. Study Participants • Study commissioned by World Bank LTG/ARD • Steering group • Scope for additional countries/collaboration • Land Equity International contracted, with support from: • University of Melbourne, Centre for Spatial Data Infrastructure and Land Administration • Washington University in St Louis, Center for New Institutional Social Sciences • Range of international experts (private, academic) • Four experienced Country Case Coordinators
