Building cooperation between international organizations in Europe
Carolyn Kat Grimsley & Gulnara Roll
This is an information paper written to more completely explore the points outlined in the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Working Party on Land Administration presentation Building International Institutions for Sustainable Land Management in Europee at the 2013 World Bank conference on Land and Poverty. The purpose of this paper is to provide a detailed understanding of key international instruments and organizations with missions relevant to land governance in greater Europe. The first section will outline precedents for European cooperation in land governance. The second section will offer a brief description of both European and global organizations and outline relevant projects. The third section will examine the complex relationships between these organizations and attempt to map intersectoral linkages. This exercise is intended to substantiate the need for the coordination of efforts in land administration across Europe and globally. It will also help identify opportunities for improved coordination within the dense web of ongoing land related initiatives.
