Publication: Fit-for-Purpose Land Administration for all
December 2020
Kadaster (International) has released its newest report on March
30th, a guide titled ‘Fit-For-Purpose Land Administration for All’
written by Dr. Eva-Maria Unger (former chair of FIG Young Surveyors) and
Dr. Rohan Bennett (FIG Commission 7). This report shows the importance
of fostering strategic partnerships amongst all land sector stakeholders
- government, private sector, NGOs, and academia - when undertaking
FFPLA.
The report answers pressing questions and shows how surveyors can get
involved at local, national, and global levels to support FFPLA
initiatives and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs).
FFPLA works but 1 barrier still to overcome
The original FFPLA concept and guidelines were published in 2014 and
2015. Since then, actions aimed at igniting and implementing FFPLA at
country level have shown the global land administration community that
FFPLA works, and can directly support the achievement of the SDGs.
Despite the success, one significant barrier still needs to be overcome:
the better inclusion of private sector surveyors, and the broader
private sector community, including lawyers, conveyancers and notaries.
To truly deliver the benefits of FFPLA at national scale, FFPLA should
be seen as an opportunity.
In response, this report speaks directly to the concerns and claims
collected in expert groups, pilots, workshops and discussions. It
presents counter claims and evidence from a growing body of documented
applications, pilots, lessons and success stories.
