Welcome to Ministry of Land

Bangladesh is characterized by very high population growth and scarcity of land. Land availability as well as its sustainable management has important bearings on overall development in general, food security, business development and human habitation in particular. The rapid increase of population is continuously reducing the land-man ratio of the country. The rate of land transfer and land conversion is also very high in Bangladesh. Rapid population growth combined with fast rate of land transformation urges for an effective land administration and management system. To establish a sustainable land administration and management system the current government, included it as an important agenda in the Seventh Five Year Plan document.

The current administrative structure of land management in Bangladesh is built around three core functions: (i) record keeping, (ii) registration, and (iii) settlement. The core functions of land administration are maintained by various departments of two Ministries, The Ministry of Land (MoL) and the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs (MLJP). While the MoL discharges most of the land-related activities including survey, collection of land development tax, arbitration process, the MLJP mainly records land mutation and transfers.

Mission

To facilitate efficient land administration and management, acess to adequate and affordable housing, social and physical infrastructure for national development

Vision

To be a globally competitive organization in sustainable management of Land and built environment

The Ministry of Lands, Housing and Human Settlements Development has been mandated to administer land and human settlement in Tanzania. It provides various land related services to individuals and institutions in the country, and provides advice to government and the public on matters pertaining to human settlements development

Profile for the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation in Myanmar.

It is the combination of Ministry of Mines and Ministry of Environmental Conservation and Forestry (MOECAF) created during the mandate of President Htin Kyaw.

The Ministry of Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR) was created in 2009. For the first time in its history, the country would have a ministry dedicated to the social and economic development of rural South Africa; committed to ensuring that South Africans residing in rural areas enjoyed the same benefits as their urban cousins, so that that they too were covered by the blanket of human rights and basic dignity guaranteed in our Constitution.
Following its establishment, the new ministry immediately embarked on an intensive process to define and conceptualise what rural development should be, and to provide a framework of how it should be implemented. Government’s plan for developing rural areas, the Comprehensive Rural Development Programme (CRDP) is aimed specifically at curing the blight of poverty by the creation of vibrant, equitable and sustainable rural communities.
To achieve its vision, the new department defined its role and mission as being that of facilitating integrated development and social cohesion through partnerships with all sectors of society. The most important strategy the department pursues to deliver on the CRDP’s strategic objectives is, Agrarian Transformation.

Objectives of the agrarian transformation strategy include (but are not limited to):

• Social mobilisation to enable rural communities to take initiatives;
• Sustainable settlements (access to basic services and economic opportunity; meeting of basic human needs; infrastructure development);
• Establishment of cooperatives and enterprises for economic activities; wealth creation; productive use of assets;
• Non-farm activities for strengthening of rural livelihoods;
• Leadership training, social facilitation and familiarity with CRDP objectives; socio-economic independence.
• Skills development and employment creation (youth, women, people living with disabilities);
• Democratisation of rural development, participation and ownership of all processes, projects and programmes by rural communities;
• Co-ordination, alignment and cooperative governance (Local Municipalities, Traditional Councils, Provincial Government and rural communities);
• Participation of Non-Governmental Organisations including faith-based organisations, Community- Based Organisations and other organs of civil society;
• Social cohesion and access to human and social capital.

The key mandate of the former Department of Land Affairs has been made an integral part of the Agrarian Transformation System, and the programme forms part of a three-legged strategy which aims to ensure that the department achieves its objectives.
The first leg - sustainable land and agrarian transformation: The aim is to increase agricultural production through the optimal and sustainable use of natural resources and appropriate technologies to ensure food security, dignity and improved rural livelihoods. This will subsequently lead to vibrant local economic development.
The second leg - rural development: This focus is on improving both economic infrastructure (such as roads, community gardens, food production, fencing for agriculture, etc.) and social infrastructure (e.g., communal sanitation, and non-farming activities). To successfully achieve this, ownership of processes, projects and programmes is vital.

The third leg - land reform based on restitution, redistribution and land tenure reform: Deliberate and intensified post-settlement support is available to ensure that land transferred to black South Africans contributes to the fight against poverty, by ensuring food security and underpinning economic and social transformation in rural areas. Land reform remains critical to the comprehensive development of South Africa’s rural areas and the government’s recapitalisation and development of land reform projects, currently in distress, bears testimony to this.

Key priorities

• To roll out the CRDP to all rural municipalities;
• To improve productivity in land reform projects through effective implementation of the Recapitalisation and Development Programme (RADP);
• To expedite the finalisation of land claims;
• To improve corporate governance and ensure enhanced service delivery;
• To implement proper change management and innovation strategies; and
• To enhance the efficiency of information management systems.

Through the implementation of this strategy, the department aims to achieve its goal of social cohesion.

This Mid-term Review highlights the progress of the department in implementing its strategy and achieving its objective.

Reforming of the legal and organizational structures of government departments, for the purpose to develop relevant measures and to achieve a desirable situation is considered as one of the basic methods for reform of the administrative system, which provides ground for success in providing better services for the public of the country. With regard to such policies, ex Ministry of Urban Development and Housing - MUDH and ex Afghanistan Land Authority – ARAZI, has been merged on the bases of presidential decree no. 107 dated 10/09/2016, for the same mission under the name of the Ministry of Urban Development and Land – MUDL.

History of the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing - MUDH

The Ministry of Urban Development and Housing was founded in 1961 under the framework of the Ministry of Public Works with the name General Department of Urban Development, and then promoted to the General Directorate of Urban Development and Housing in 1966. Subsequently, it followed to work under the Ministry of Public Works as a profit making enterprise in the name of (Urban and Construction Projects Institute) and later renamed to the central Institute of Planning (project making) in 1965. Later on, it was promoted to the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing in 1993. In 2007 it was transferred to the Ministry of Urban Development, and in 2018 to the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing.

History of Afghanistan Land Authority - ARAZI

Since the beginning of 2001, the Afghan government has focused on regulating and managing land as means of collecting taxes, and in the past Ministries of Interior Affairs and Finance were responsible for carrying out these tasks, which were later transferred to the Ministry of Agriculture in 1978. In 1964, Cadaster and Property Directorates were created by the Ministry of Finance and resulted in the preparation of the first accurate office of land. The Director of Cadaster in 1974 was separated by a distinct decision by the Ministry of Finance and has merged with the General Directorate of Geodesy and Cartography, which led the Real Estate Administration not to have direct access to cadastral maps.

The Real Estate Agency in 1978, was transferred to the Ministry of Agriculture on the basis of the government’s economic policy. Afterward, land reform focused on the distribution of excess land to the poor and the needy people, based on the policy of the ruling government, the unusual cause that failed. The land reform process faced with obstacles in the year of 1992, and the administration of the real estate lost more employees and even the strong support of the ruling system. Then, in 2010, under the framework of the Ministry of Agriculture, irrigation and Livestock, the plan to improve land use effectively and increase state revenues for the direct lease of state-owned land to the private sector continued work and then in 1390 was renamed to Afghanistan Land Authority - ARAZI.

In accordance with resolution no. 11 dated 06/05/2013, the Afghanistan Land Authority was separated from the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock as an independent budget authority. Subsequently, in 2016, according to the plan of the President of the country, the Directorate of Cadaster and then the Department of Geodesy and Cartography, was merged with the Afghanistan Land Authority in order to coordinate the activities and provide the same services.

Regarding the history and changes, developments of the above mentioned institutions from the point of view of the structural and legal responsibilities, the integration of Afghanistan Land Authority with the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing under the name of Ministry of Urban Development and Land – MUDL is considered to be the best government practice.

This merging in fact is updating the relevant Urban and Land Management structures and using many regional and international experiences in this field. Technically the majority of the duties and responsibilities of both entities, which were ratified in the laws of urban planning and regulation of land management, had no operational capability without coordination and perhaps more time spent on coordination and cooperation. By completing merging plan, the challenges have been resolved in terms of the basic structure, and the Ministry of Urban Development and Land - MUDL within the framework of government policies and laws, can achieve its strategic goals by implementing legally enforceable responsibilities and duties.

Minority Rights Group International campaigns worldwide with around 130 partners in over 60 countries to ensure that disadvantaged minorities and indigenous peoples, often the poorest of the poor, can make their voices heard. Through training and education, legal cases, publications and the media, we support minority and indigenous people as they strive to maintain their rights to the land they live on, the languages they speak, to equal opportunities in education and employment, and to full participation in public life.

We understand how discrimination based on age, class, gender and disability can have a multiple impact on disadvantaged minorities, and our campaigns target governments and communities to eradicate such attitudes.

Minority Rights Group International has over 40 years experience of working with non-dominant ethnic, religious and linguistic communities and we bring a long term view of these issues to bear in all the work we do.

We work with minorities as diverse as the Batwa in Central Africa, Roma in Europe, Christians in Iraq and Dalits in India and Nepal to name but a few.

MRG is an international non-governmental organization (NGO) with an international governing Council that meets twice a year. We have consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and observer status with the African Commission for Human and Peoples’ Rights.

The Minority Voices programme is a 3-year development and training project being run by Minority Rights Group. The overall aims of the Minority Voices programme are:

• To increase the inclusion of minority and indigenous peoples' perspectives in the EU media, particularly in coverage of development issues relating to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
• To increase awareness among development policy-makers of the specific needs of minority and indigenous communities in meeting the MDGs.

The aim of this website is to close the gap between journalists and minority activists. Journalists can quickly identify stories and media contacts - with a primary focus on minorities and indigenous peoples and the MDGs - while activists and individuals from within a minority or indigenous community can use this website to engage with EU-based media.
