LGAF
Land Governance Assessment Framework Study will provide systematic guidance for Government authorities and development partners to diagnose and benchmark land governance and to contribute to improving it over time. Landissues are typically complex and institutional arrangements are highly country specific. A Land Governance Assessment Framework (LGAF) has been developed as a diagnostic tool for the evaluation of the legal framework, policies and practices regarding land and land use. The LGAF is based on a comprehensive review of available conceptual and empirical material regarding experience in land governance. The LGAF groups land topics into seven thematic areas:

1. Legal and Institutional Framework
2. Land Use Planning, Management and Taxation
3. Management of Public Land
4. Public Provision of Land Information
5. Dispute Resolution and Conflict Management
6. Large Scale Land Acquisition
7. Forestry
Within each theme area, a series of indicators has been developed with specific dimensions that define areas for investigation, quantitative measurement or qualitative assessment. Through the assessment of these indicators, the LGAF highlights areas for legal, policy or procedural reform where necessary to improve governance in land administration over time and as a basis for global and intra-regional comparisons.
