LAND-at-scale Colombia: Land formalisation integrating economic empowerment and natural resource protection – Kadaster Internationaal contribution

Better land governance in Colombia is the ultimate aim of this project, in which three pilots with a Fit for Purpose approach will be carried out.

The Colombian counterparts of Kadaster will be the Instituto Geografico Agustin Codazzi (IGAC), the Agencia Nacional de Tierras (ANT) and the Superintendencia de Notariado y Registro (SNR). For the whole project, a broader institutional setting is required, beyond land administration and land governance alone.

Beneficiaries are disadvantaged people in
a) a predominantly indigenous community,
b) predominantly Afro-Colombian community,
c) mixed communities (Afro-Colombian, indigenous people but also peasant farmers).

Kadaster works together with ICCO and Tropenbos who look at economic development and natural resources to integrate in the Fit for Purpose approach.
