| 6.3 Possible actions by Government: |
| |
- Lead and support the development of an implementation strategy for community land registration and the processing of land concession applications.
- Articulate a strategy for privatisation, which identifies serious investors and maximises benefits for rural communities.
- Strengthen mechanisms for feeding back proposals for adapting and amending procedures from the provincial to national level and between provinces.
- Identify resource requirements of the "land sector", beyond PROAGRI.
- Address the challenge of delivery at scale and the long-term sustainability of the land administration system. Complete projections on the collection of fees and taxes matched against resource requirements at provincial and district level.
- Improve the assessment and monitoring of the implementation of business plans by investors. Develop procedures and system to reduce or cancel those plans not realised within the time frame and those not paying taxes.
- Investigate cancelled land concession applications to establish whether they are being utilised or not.
- Resolve the institutional responsibility for land use planning/natural resource management.
- Encourage the development of integrated planning processes at provincial and district level. Link information dissemination on land concessions and community land delimitations to these processes. Also link information on land concessions and community land delimitations to information on logging applications.
- Reinforce the process of developing provincial and district level mechanisms for integrated planning and conflict resolution.
- Continue/reinforce the role of communities in the processing of land concession applications, conflict resolution, land use planning, natural resource management. Strengthening the role of communities means resolving the issue of representation.
- Prioritise areas with investment potential for land registration (community and land concessions). Investment potential could be defined in terms of land use potential and/or investor interest. The latter requires an assessment of capital base and other resources available to the land applicant.
- Identify pilot projects for the establishment of partnerships between communities and investors. Partnerships should be broadly defined as the formalisation of relationships between communities and investors.
