Technical pre-workshop “Fit-for-Purpose Land Administration in the Arab Region”

On 17 February 2025, a technical workshop “Fit-for-Purpose Land Administration in the Arab Region” was organised by Kadaster International, preceding the Arab Land Conference. It was organised at the School of Geomatic Sciences and Land Survey Engineering at Institut Agronomique et Vétérinaire Hassan II in Rabat, Morocco. The workshop was supported and co-hosted by the School for Land Administration Studies (SLAS), a collaborative initiative of Kadaster and the ITC Faculty, University of Twente and School of Geomatic Sciences and Land Survey Engineering at Institut Agronomique et Vétérinaire Hassan II. It also has  backing and support from FIG, via its Commission 7, on Cadastre and Land Management.

The aim of the session was to support Land Administration professionals, particularly land surveyors working in cadastre and land registration, and scholars in the Arab Region, to increase their capacity to increase knowledge on rapid and cost-effective mapping techniques, tenure security, integration of datasets, and ensuring enhanced recognition of women’s rights.  This workshop built upon the Arab Land Initiative, launched by GLTN in 2016, which aimed to ensure that people in Arab countries had equal and affordable access to land, fostering peace, stability, and economic growth through collaborative efforts on good land policies and transparent, efficient, and affordable land administration systems.
