Land administration for economic development : experiences from institutional development projects
Osterberg, Tommy
The importance of institutional development for economic development and poverty alleviation has been stressed by several important researchers in economic development during many years. This paper makes an attempt to draw some conclusions about how land administration institutions can be developed. It is based on experiences from a number of institutional development projects where Swedesurvey, the overseas agency of the Swedish Land Administration Authority, Lantmmteriet has been involved. The paper summarise the development in Africa to maintain formal land administration systems and to integrate traditional land administration system in the modern society. It also comments on the huge privatisation of land and real property, which has taken place in former Soviet Union and other communist countries.
