Module 10 - Kyrgyz Republic: Benefits of Securing and Registering Land for Rural Development

Significantly, the pragmatic survey methods have not increased the number of land disputes, and the straightforward procedures for regularizing titles have greatly increased the coverage of the systematic registration programs. The initial foundation for the project was the establishment of the legal and institutional framework for registration, which allowed for rapid progress when registration began. An important benefit to the project was that considerable information on land already existed and could be used fully. Lastly, the project demonstrated the potential synergies between a land registration project and other interventions directed at land reform and development of rural finance.
