MCC Land Administration Capacity Building Activity

Mozambique - LAND TENURE PROJECT - Land Administration Capacity Building Activity: Under the Capacity Building Activity, MCC Funding will support investments and reform processes that will go a long way toward strengthening public land administration services.

Specifically, MCC Funding will support the following intervention areas: (i) implementation of a comprehensive approach to professional development and training (including in local requirements and international best practices in cadastral and registration information systems, surveying and titling procedures, land law, and other topics) at the national, provincial and local levels, thereby increasing knowledge and awareness of land tenure issues, land records management and surveying techniques, and providing a better understanding of development trends in land policy and in the demand for their services; (ii) the further development of the National Land Information System (LIMS), which was first funded by the Italian government but still requires strategic planning, final design and completion of implementation at the provincial level; (iii) investment in and technical assistance to the upgrading of facilities for four provincial and selected district land service offices; (iv) investment in and technical assistance for cadastral development in selected municipalities, including pilot implementation of cadastral registration in selected neighborhoods within each municipality.

The Land Project will develop methods and criteria to select the particular districts, municipalities and neighborhoods.
