This project helps to provide property rights for Cambodians through a modern and transparent Land Administration regime. This initiative represents Canada's contribution to the Government of Cambodia's Land Administration Sub-Sector Program and is implemented by the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction. Expanding upon Cambodia's 15-year strategy, the Land Administration, Management and Distribution Program (LAMDP), this project provides technical assistance, training, and program coordination, along with moderate project management and financial management services. The project strengthens the technical and administrative capacity of provincial and district cadastral commissions and improves provincial land registries by extending robust registration and processing systems, thereby increasing the total number of land titles issued in targeted provinces. It contributes to the creation of a framework that ensures land sales are conducted openly and transactions registered regularly, establishes procedures and the human resource base for land valuation, and incorporates environmental sustainability and gender sensitivity into land administration.
