1.        Land Distribution before Land Administration.  We would like to see a programme of distribution that extends to every commune in the country.  This should either be at the same time as systematic land titling or in advance of it.

The text says distribution will take precedence over administration “where land has heretofore been undistributed.”

2.        Land Management before Land Administration.  Public land should be demarcated at the same time as private land under the systematic titling regime. This means developing criteria for demarcation in advance of the systematic land titling programme.

The text says “Where titles already exist and ownership is undisputed, administration and management will come before distribution.”

3.        Land Administration to assist the vulnerable. Once systematic land titling pilots have been completed the priority must be to carry out titling where people are most vulnerable to losing their land, i.e. where conflicts are most prevalent.  [Surveys suggest that these are particularly: areas that were fought over during the 1990s; areas where the local economy is booming; areas with high land values and potential for commercial exploitation (e.g. as plantation land); national borders and along national roads.

Included.  However, the areas most vulnerable to land grabbing are not identified.

4.        Pilot several ways, not just one way.  For key processes (e.g. demarcation of different sorts of State land, implementation of Social Concessions) the Council for Land Policy should elicit a number of trials (action research projects) so that implementation decisions can be take on the basis of a range of available choices.

Pilot projects for land distribution are scheduled to begin in 2003 and are put in the Action Plan matrix, although it is not specified how they will be carried out.
