The project “Access to Land and Credit” in Tunisia is aimed at structurally transforming agriculture through improving land consolidation procedures and efforts. This leads to employment opportunities for Tunisian youth. Kadaster works with the International Development Law Organization (IDLO) in the project, which is financed by the Dutch Embassy of Tunisia.
Land consolidation is an important instrument to support this agricultural transition. Kadaster supports IDLO in increasing interest by land holders and food producers to participate in land consolidation efforts by the national agency (Agence Foncière Agricole). At the same time, Kadaster builds capacity of the responsible national agency to increase participation by farmers and effectively consolidate land more effectively.
