  • The FIG Congress includes a special seminar looking at the issues confronting so-called “Small Island Developing States”. These island nations face special challenges as they struggle with Land Governance issues associated with achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The opening session aims at setting the scene for professional capacity building in the region by identifying the specific gaps in capacity in the region, and discussing ways in which land practitioners could contribute towards closing the gaps and thus assist with the achievement of the MDGs in the region.

  • This session on climate change and disaster mitigation develops the relationship between climate change, community resilience and land tenure. The tsunami that hit Samoa and other Pacific Island Countries in September 2009 was graphic evidence of the vulnerability of coastal communities. The objective of this session is to articulate the input and contribution of land professionals in the preparedness, mitigation, emergency response, recovery and rehabilitation stages of Disaster Risk Management.

  • The challenge of access to land and marine resources due to a lack of clearly defined real property rights is often cited as a major cause of dispute and resultant instability for SIDS. In this session we explore institutional impediments to land and resource access in SIDS. We investigate the issues of gender and intergenerational equity, and the application of land trusts, with a view to proposing workable leasehold solutions that do not risk creating long-term perpetual lease structures.

Chair: Mr. Tony Burns, Australia
Rapporteur: Dr. Kate Dalrymple, Australia
  • The land sector is particularly susceptible to corruption and rent seeking. The small island states in the Pacific, typically grouped into three regions: Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia, cover a very wide expanse of the world’s surface. The prevalence and importance of customary tenure in the Pacific adds a level of complexity to any consideration of land governance but nonetheless, land governance is an important topic for the Pacific region. This session will explore the topic of land governance as it applies to small island states.

FIG 2010 - SIDS Workshop

Small Island Developing States and The Millennium Development Goals

14 and 15 April 2010

The aim is to emphasise the important role of land governance in addressing the MDGs but also articulating the input of land professionals and their contribution that promotes engagement from all sectors of society. This will require a strong and deep commitment to establishing a healthy land professional’s network.

The participatory attendance for this workshop is on invitation only. Congress delegates will be able to witness the debate.

Workshop themes:

1. Building Professional Capacity

The opening session aims at setting the scene for professional capacity building in the region by identifying the specific gaps in capacity in the region, and discussing ways in which land practitioners could contribute towards closing the gaps and thus assist with the achievement of the MDGs in the region.

2. Climate change and natural disasters

This session on climate change and disaster mitigation develops the relationship between climate change, community resilience and land tenure. The tsunami that hit Samoa and other Pacific Island Countries in September 2009 was graphic evidence of the vulnerability of coastal communities The objective of this session is to articulate the input and contribution of land professionals in the preparedness, mitigation, emergency response, recovery and rehabilitation stages of Disaster Risk Management.

3. Access to land, coastal and marine resources

The challenge of access to land and marine resources due to a lack of clearly defined real property rights is often cited as a major cause of dispute and resultant instability for SIDS. In this session we explore institutional impediments to land and resource access in SIDS. We investigate the issues of gender and intergenerational equity, and the application of land trusts, with a view to proposing workable leasehold solutions.

4. Good governance in land tenure and administration

The land sector is particularly susceptible to corruption and rent seeking. The small island states in the Pacific, typically grouped into three regions: Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia, cover a very wide expanse of the world’s surface. The prevalence and importance of customary tenure in the Pacific adds a level of complexity to any consideration of land governance but nonetheless, land governance is an important topic for the Pacific region. This session will explore the topic of land governance as it applies to small island states.

5. Building Professional Capacity

This closing session aims at developing strategies and activities for building the professional capacity of land administration practitioners and professionals in the region; and identifying the roles that land administration practitioners can play towards achieving the MDGs in the region.

A joint FIG/Sponsors publication will be prepared including some key reference material and a joint declaration to be adopted by the conference. This publication will be published in the FIG publication series. The full proceedings will be published on the FIG and Sponsor Websites and will be made available as a CDROM.
