Dragana Godjevac Obradovic
The Serbian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management (MAFWM) in particular its Directorate for Agricultural Lands (DAL) was supported from 2013-2015 by the project “Rural Development – Effective Land Management”. The project was funded by the European Union, the German Government and byMAEP, implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). The goal of this project was to support the rural development policy through the efficient management of state and private owned agricultural land. For achieving this it was important to strengthen administrative structures and capacity building within the DAL and in selected pilot municipalities which were the main beneficiaries of this project. The project objective is to build up rural development in Serbia through an effective management of agricultural land. It facilitates the implementation of the land consolidation schemes as well the measures to reduce abandoned agricultural land. The project contributes to the development and implementation of the land policy programmes and appropriate legal regulations concerning agricultural land. A major part of the project is related to the establishment of an information system on agricultural land. This paper presents the major achievements and experiences we gained through pilot projects and how we are applying that knowledge to scale up to the national level.
