Research report – Benefits of a more sustainable approach to land administration transitions

This Implementation Support Programme (ISP) study is being undertaken by the Land Facility Decision Support Unit (DSU) to investigate the potential benefits and supporting arguments for adopting a more sustainable financing approach for the establishment and operation of land administration systems in developing countries. It builds on earlier work undertaken by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO), the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ) over the period 2023-2025.

This ISP extends earlier work undertaken on financial sustainability by FCDO, RVO, GIZ and aims to establish the direct and indirect benefits of developing a sustainable finance approach that can also help to convince governments to invest time and resources in developing their land administration systems It explores the linkages to land market development and wider economic and social benefits, thereby providing a convincing argument for investment and change. This ISP also provides a rapid assessment tool that can be used to assess the readiness of country partners to adopt such an approach at national or subnational level.
