Concept Description 26. This objective would be achieved by i modernizing the land administration functions within the MINEFID and other State institutions working on urban and rural land policy ii reviewing the legal framework to streamline current laws iii developing a robust land information system iv developing guidelines procedures and standards for services delivery and v carrying out outreach and awareness campaigns directed at disseminating information about how to protect the land rights particularly of women ethnic minorities and vulnerable populations.

New technologies e.g. geospatial data drones and field devices will be investigated to select the most appropriate ones for land registration considering several distinct contexts including informal urban settlement patterns rapid urbanization especially in peri-urban areas and customary and tribal structures in rural settings. 28. Component 1 will comprise the following subcomponents i rehabilitation andor renovation of the land infrastructure including buildings hardware and software equipment ii ensuring a well-functioning Land Information System LIS through institutional and regulatory structures and measures including hardware and software training and developing Geo-Information Infrastructure through the establishment of a geodetic reference network including generation of ortho-photos and vector maps and iii supporting cadastral surveying and land registration in selected areas.
