Good Governance in Land Tenure and Administration
- What is governance?
- What is governance in the context of
land tenure and administration?
- What is the situation?
- What could be done?
SLIDE 8
Good Governance
Governments, Authorities: Elected, selected, accountable Create and implement policies and regulations Interact with citizens, serve Indicators: Accountability, Stability, Effectiveness, Regulatory Quality, Transparency, Rule of Law, Control of Corruption
SLIDE 9
Governance in Land Administration
- Problems common, large and global
- Not well documented, published
- No longer forbidden topics of discussion
- Not many corrective advice or actions in
place
SLIDE 10
Weak Governance in Land Tenure
- Excessive, expensive, procedures hinder
investments and marginalise the poor
- Administration used for systemic, uncontrolled,
corruption Legitimises right violations and bad development:
- Destruction, evictions; unplanned, uncontrolled,
development
- Converts public assets/land for private gain;
Peri-urban development (huge) serves wrong interests
SLIDE 11
Consequences of Weak Governance
- Economic development: Hindrance
- For the poor: Marginalisation
- Environment: Overexploitation
- Society: Instability
- Development cooperation: Illegitimacy
A WEAK LAND ADMINISTRATION IS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO ALL OF THE ABOVE
