From co-creation to action in Chad
The project ‘Improving Local Land Governance in Chad’ is entering a new phase. Agents from the Ministry of Land Management, Housing and Urban Development (MATHU) received training and equipment as part of the land recordation pilot.
Transferring knowledge
In early January, we joined forces with MATHU to begin preparations for the next phase of the innovative land recordation pilot. As part of the joint knowledge-transfer activities, we trained MATHU agents on the use of GNSS devices and field tablets as well as participatory processes for collecting cadastral information. This includes both the surveying of parcels and the collection of attribute information about land right holders.
Extensive data collection campaign
Following the training, we gave 5 sets of field work equipment to MATHU. MATHU will lead the pilot process with our technical support. Over the coming months, 5 teams will conduct an extensive data collection campaign in the 7th district of N’Djamena and in the rural neighbourhoods of Linia.
Scaling up land recordation efforts
This new phase follows the successful completion of the jointly co-created fit for purpose land recordation methodology. This now forms the foundation for the upcoming pilot activities. The assessment of the piloting phase will provide a profound basis for scaling up land recordation efforts in a more transparent, participatory, and inclusive manner. It will also support the ongoing work surrounding the development of the new land policy.
