GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMEGLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMEGLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMME

1. Background issues and challenges on land

2. Neighbourhood upgrading in Ciudadela Sucre community, Colombia

3. Tenure regularization and resettlement planning in Kenya

4. Community-led municipal information system for slums in Uganda

OUTLINE OF PRESENTATION

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMEGLOBAL LAND CHALLENGES

• Only 30 % cadastral coverage (versus 70% tenures off register) – need to secure tenure ASAP to all citizens.

• Only 2-3% ownership by women – how to increase?

• Dealing with the affordability issue: how to modernise systems in a pro-poor way?

• Complexity of land rights, claims, and records: need to have new forms of land administration and records systems.

The challenge to all? • How to support various tenure types & systems to enable land

reform and secure land and property rights for all?

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMEKEY CHALLENGES OF SLUMS•Slums harbors majority of cities population; over 60% of Nairobi population lives in slums, 72% in Kampala.•Slums associated with poor infrastructure, poor housing, lack of basic services and overcrowding•Lack of tenure security with rampant evictions rates•Population in slums grappling with many challenges; fire, floods, insecurity

How to deal with these?

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMEGLOBAL EFFORTS

•UN Habitat/ GLTN towards pro poor land administrations, STDM•Operationalization of Continuum of Land Rights

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMESTDM AND PARTICIPATORY ENUMERATIONS

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMETHE INEVITABLE SPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES•Availability of varied geospatial data and

technologies for mapping, Satellite Imagery, UAVs and Global positioning.

•Growth of DBMS, FOSS and modeling standards UML improving on recording and performance.

What does it mean for land administration

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMEAPPLICATION OF GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES

…Emerging impacts and potentials of these technologies at country level…

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMEIMPLEMENTATION AT COUNTRY LEVEL

Partnership:

Colombia•Habitat for Humanity

Uganda•Slum/ Shack Dwellers International•ACTogether Uganda•Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development of Uganda

Kenya•Pamoja Trust, Kenya•Technical University of Kenya•Kenya Informal Settlement Improvement Program•Mombasa County Government

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMENEIGHBOURHOOD UPGRADING IN COLOMBIA•Locality: Soacha City•Objectives:

1. To improve community/neighborhood infrastructure2. To improve the housing conditions of community families3. To improve tenure security

•Results and Impacts:1. Identified specific neighbourhood priorities2. Adoption of a unique structuring address3. Created a platform for dialogue between community and

municipal government4. Plans are underway to scale it up in other cities in Colombia

and Bolivia

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMEINITIAL RESULTS

Land use and Risk perception maps of Ciudadela Sucre

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMEMUNICIPAL DATA CENTERS FOR SLUMS-KENYA•Locality: Mnazi Moja in Mombasa, Mashimoni in Nairobi•Objectives:

1. Identification of potential beneficiaries for tenure regularization efforts

2. Negotiation for resettlement of Mnazi moja community

•Results and Impacts:•Full list of beneficiaries identified for regularization exercise•A community land information system established in both communities•Local Authorities ready to use the data for planning and upscaling•Upscaling needs and rollout request at county level

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMEINITIAL RESULTS

A community driven land Information System in Mashimoni

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMEMUNICIPAL DATA CENTERS FOR SLUMS- UGANDA•Locality: Tororo, Masaka, Mbale and Entebbe Municipalities•Objectives:

1. Gathering of city wide profiles in 15 Municipalities of Uganda2. Establishment of community led data centers in Municipal

offices•Results and Impacts:•Data centers established for slums profiles in four municipalities •Good working relationships between local authorities and the community•Slums profiles being used for planning at Municipal level

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMEINITIAL RESULTS - UGANDA

Tenure Security issues in Tororo municipality

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMEKEY OUTCOMES

• Community forums informing city planning requirements

• Affordable geospatial technologies accelerating delivery of tenure security to the poor

• Community driven process influencing interventions and prioritization of needs at local level

• Scalable systems at community level important for building effective land administration systems.

• Participatory and transparent process – good governance

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMELESSONS LEARNT

Effective planning will requires geospatial data

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMELESSONS LEARNT

“Spatial enablement” will improve on tenure security of urban poor

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMECHALLENGES

• Mobilization and sensitization of community is key to success of the process

• Prohibitive cost on acquisition of geospatial equipment and data

• Political good will

• Sustainability of the process

GLTN BRIEFING AND PROGRAMMEWAY FORWARD• More partnership at the local level• Replication and scaling up the use of technologies at Municipal

level• Capacity development on geospatial technologies• Need for convergence of proprietary software to assimilate

STDM and continuum concepts
