Location

Netherlands

The Netherlands’ Cadastre, Land Registry and Mapping Agency – in short Kadaster – collects and registers administrative and spatial data on property and the rights involved. This also goes for ships, aircraft and telecom networks. Doing so, Kadaster protects legal certainty. We are also responsible for national mapping and maintenance of the national reference coordinate system. Furthermore, we are an advisory body for land-use issues and national spatial data infrastructures.

Our information is available predominantly through online web services, including information on energy labels of houses and underground cables and pipelines. Our main customer groups are civil-law notaries, local authorities, businesses, financial institutions and private individuals. Kadaster maintains the Key Registers Cadastre and Topography. 

Kadaster performs its public tasks in service of society. This is reflected in the way we are organised and the ways in which we publicly account for how we work.

Raising Awareness on the Customary Land Rights and the Land Commission Acts

General

Green Scenery was supported by Christian Aid Ireland to implement a five-year, later six years after the outbreak of the Corona Virus 19 globally. The intervention was carried out in three districts; Bonbali, Port Loko, and Pujehun and it involved working with partners, landowners, and land-users’ groups, while interacting with stakeholders at the micro, meso, and macro-levels to bring about both attitudes and behavioral as well as policy change. The project ended with the milestones achieved at varying degrees and a major objective of the Provinces Land Act, Cap 122 repealed and replaced with two new land laws; the Customary Land Rights Act and the National Land Commission Act. This Intervention will target the same communities that were targeted by the previous project as a way to deepen all gains as well as to prepare them for the next journey of the implementation of the new laws. The intervention will establish at least five District Multistakeholder Platforms and will facilitate the establishment of the Town/Village Area Land committees in all our operational communities. Members of the structures established will be trained so that they are able to match up to their terms of reference as enshrined in the laws.

Enhancing occupational safety and health standards in the construction sector in Cambodia

General

Occupational accidents and diseases have an impact not only on the lives of individual workers, but also on the productivity and profitability of businesses, the sustainability of social protection systems and ultimately on the welfare of the whole society. The project aims to address the need to improve occupational safety and health of workers and workplaces in Cambodia’s construction sector and will focus on the construction of commercial and residential buildings. To improve occupational safety and health of workers and workplaces in these parts of the construction sector, the project will support Cambodia in strengthening its OSH laws and regulations as provided for in the activities and targets set out in its 2nd National OSH Master Plan 2016-2020. The project will also support initiatives that are intended to secure a higher level commitment by government agencies and social partners to collaborate and to create broader based awareness of safety and health measures in general as well as in the supply chain and chemical usage for construction of commercial and residential buildings. These initiatives will focus on building greater collaboration among relevant government agencies who are in a position to support improvement in the quality and delivery of OSH services and to increase their scope of coverage, including the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training, Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MoLMUP), the National Social Security Fund and other relevant agencies. ILO’s key OSH standards such as Promotional Framework for OSH Convention (No 187, 2006), Safety and Health in Construction Convention (No. 167, 1988), Asbestos Convention (No.162, 2006), Guidelines on Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems (ILOOSH 2001), and the ILO Code of Practice Safety and health in construction will be fully applied as sound guidance to strengthen national concerted actions. This project will be implemented in the framework of the ILO's Global Action for Prevention on Occupational Safety and Health (OSH GAP) Flagship Programme. This programme seeks to foster the creation of a global culture of prevention, with the objective of achieving real reductions in the incidence of work-related death, injury and disease.

LAND-at-scale Rwanda Towards a fair and robust land management and governance system connecting people for sus

General

The Rwanda Land Tenure Reform Program, launched in 2009, gained international attention by regularizing land tenure at an unparalleled scale. Over eleven million land parcels were demarcated, and eight million land titles were issued to their rightful owners. Despite this, the land tenure system still faces challenges. The land administration and information system (LAIS) does not yet sufficiently address social aspects, such as incorporating informal transactions and safeguards for women, or reducing high costs of participating. Land disputes remain common, and pressure on the courts to resolve these conflicts need to be decreased. These challenges undermine the legitimacy and proper functioning of land governance. This situation is further hampered by the effects of climate change on the country Project objective To improve and ensure sustainability of land registration and management systems and their implementing institutions for enhanced perceived and actual tenure security for the people of Rwanda. Project strategies - Institutionalize a (financially) sustainable land administration information and management system. - Implement sustainable, climate-resilient land use planning at national level. Implement a more just decision-making process by local mediators. - Strengthen academic capacity to assist in the further development of a fair and just land governance system.

LAND-at-scale Chad- Land reform based on rapid evolution and present crisis

General

Chad is at the verge of an emerging land tenure crisis. As observed in many countries in Africa, formal and customary tenure systems overlap. Customary tenure systems, that generally prevail in rural areas, differ from region to region, with each its own needs and practices. Land conflicts are abundant, caused by degradation and transformation of land surfaces caused by climate change, as well as land investments by domestic investors with disputed legitimacy. Women, particularly, struggle in practice to obtain the same rights to land as men, even though country’s constitution enshrines gender equality. These land challenges play against a backdrop of a country in conflict. A land tenure crisis could lead to more disputes over land, weakened land productivity, uncontrolled urban development, and result in further social unrest of the country if not adequately addressed. Project objective The project aims to contribute to a more transparent and inclusive land administration system in Chad, especially for tenure insecure groups (women and youth), which creates security for communities to invest in sustainable income generating activities. Project strategies - Finalization of the Land Code: a review and rewrite of the content, combined with a multi-stakeholder validation workshop - Support to socio-economic land reform, with special attention for inclusion of women and youth, strengthening civil society organizations, capacity building on agricultural practices and dispute resolution mechanisms.   - Improving the land registration system in N’Djamena by developing a blueprint of the current situation and roadmap towards the preferred future situation, together with the relevant government authorities in Chad.

LAND-at-scale Colombia- Land formalization through a Fit for Purpose approach in Indigenous and Afro-Colombian

General

In Colombia’s post-conflict context, access to land and tenure security are still a cause of many conflicts and inequalities. Especially Indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities are amongst the most vulnerable groups in Colombia. Their land tenure insecurity has a negative effect on the possibilities for livelihood improvements, and on the protection of natural resources within their territories. Project objective The project aims to contribute to filling the Multipurpose cadastre with information about land titles and natural resources of indigenous and Afro-Colombian communities, which is obtained in a fair, efficient and effective manner, and to create security for the communities to invest in sustainable income generating activities in those areas. Combining improved tenure security with income generating activities and protecting natural resources results in an integrated approach, tackling multiple issues at the same time. Project strategies - Improved tenure security through mapping 3 different communities using the Fit for Purpose method - Mapping possible income generating activities together with the communities and looking for external financing - Mapping natural resources together with the communities: how to protect or use them sustainably       - Share this integrated approach with government, donors, financial institutions throughout the project in order to guarantee upscaling and to improve the Multi-purpose Cadastre
