International treaties and consultancy and their effect on land management in developing countries : what is the role of FIG?

Keller, Michael

Land ownership is of central importance for the development of a country. Where land possession is secured, positive development can take place. An excellent technical counseling, political will and coordinated, result orientated procedures between financing countries and international development banks guarantee the efficiency of the development. Who, however, will carry out the consultation and who will coordinate and focus the various interests of all the parties involved? In the context of international treaties, one can see where international consultancy is possible. The role of the donors will be critically appreciated and questions about possible tasks of the FIG in the context of land management and land ownership in development cooperation will be raised.
