Workshop: Building Capacity and Collaborative Approaches for Effective Land Administration

MS Teams

Date: 27th November 2025
Time: 90 minutes (2:30-4 pm GMT, 3:30-5 pm WAT)
Venue: Virtual Teams (Registration)

A Fit-for-Purpose Land Administration (FFPLA) approach offers a pragmatic and efficient solution for effective land administration which is crucial for achieving secure tenure, sustainable development, and economic growth.

This workshop on 27th November 2025 will provide a critical platform for land administration experts, policymakers, and practitioners to address the systemic gaps related to a shortage of skilled personnel, outdated institutional structures, and fragmented efforts across various governmental, non-governmental, and private sectors.

The workshop seeks to initiate a focused conversation on designing targeted capacity development programs and establishing resilient collaborative frameworks that can accelerate the adoption and upscaling of FFPLA principles globally.

It will address capacity gaps and promote multi-stakeholder collaboration for effective land administration. It aims to assess current deficits, explore successful collaborative models and formulate actionable capacity-building strategies, in creating an enabling environment for sustainable FFPLA implementation.

This workshop targets land administration professionals, policymakers, government officials, academics, civil society organisations, development partners, and students interested in land governance, institutional reform, and human resource development.
