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

1. A predominantly indigenous community,
2. Predominantly Afro-Colombian community,
3. Mixed communities like Afro-Colombian and 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.
