Qualified and increased workforce to enhance land administration processes to support peacebuilding and rural economic development.
This project, funded by the Orange Knowledge Programme of the Netherlands’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs Nuffic, aims to strengthen the national system of Land Administration as a pre-condition for rural economic development. Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas in Bogota, Colombia, will be strengthened in three pillars: education, research and outreach/community development, aiming to become the national reference centre for Land Administration.
The consortium (Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, University of Twente/ITC, Esri Colombia, Kadaster International, and ROC van Twente) aims to ensure the country can count on a qualified workforce at the level of Higher Education, TVET and informal training to support public and private initiatives in land tenure security.
Project leader: Dr. Javier Morales Guarin
