Under the theme “Innovations towards the Digitalization of Cadastral Services,” this conference aimed to drive innovation and excellence in the field. Over two days, participants explored the latest breakthroughs and advancements in cadastral technology, learning from the experiences of local and international experts.
The National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) Forum is a platform to create national awareness of the NSDI and the importance of geospatial information in planning.
This seminar will be an opportunity to deepen and consolidate the various issues raised in the initial contributions proposed for the collective work. Participants will have the opportunity to explore in depth the fundamental issues related to citizen participation in land governance, with a focus on the specific challenges faced in Africa. In-depth discussions will analyze the root causes of land problems, identify gaps in existing public policies, and formulate concrete proposals for effective reforms. Furthermore, the seminar will provide a platform for a comprehensive analysis of the role of alumni as an essential component of NELGA's sustainability in the sub-region and ends up with a setting up and launching of the NELGA AC alumni network
The Urban Knowledge Exchange is currently presenting a series of webinars to showcase evidence-based knowledge platforms.
In this fourth webinar we focus on international, multi-dimensional land knowledge and information platforms, and the partnerships that underpin their success.
Having secure land tenure, ensuring people's confidence in accessing, controlling and utilizing their land, is crucial for promoting sustainable land management practices. It also plays a key role in building resilience against the impacts of climate change, including extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and increased desertification due to higher temperatures.
On the opening day of #COP28, we hosted a thought-provoking webinar that delved into the intricate relationship between land governance and climate resilience, a critical area of immense importance in the context of global climate challenges and sustainable land use practices. This event aimed to unpack the crucial role of inclusive land governance in building climate resilience.
This event will bring together a wide range of CFS actors to present the case for more coordinated global action to advance tenure security. It will present proposals for a multistakeholder global campaign and draft Framework for Action. It will show how a focus on human rights compliance in land governance through systematic monitoring and policy dialogue can promote VGGT implementation and increase accountability.
You are invited to attend the MCC Land and Agricultural Economy Practice Group Webinar: Digital Systems for Land Administration, Part 2 on October 12, 8:00-9:30 AM (Washington DC time or GMT -4)
Join us for a thought-provoking webinar that explores the challenges and future directions to scale Fit-For-Purpose Land Administration (FFPLA) based on on-the-ground experiences. FFPLA approaches are broadly recognized and applauded for being more affordable, faster and flexible (in terms of spatial identification) than conventional land administration methods.
This webinar aimed to build the capacity of researchers and practitioners across Africa to better understand sustainable approaches to land data governance. The webinar highlighted the importance of good land data governance for improving property rights and enabling more efficient government services.
