Land Registration in the Merged Areas Activity

General

(Pakistan): The Land Registration in Merged Areas (LRMA) activity aims to establish a land registration system in seven districts of the Merged Areas. LRMA will provide technical assistance and capacity development to the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (GoKP) to promote a transparent legal system that allows for the registration, transfer, and utilization of land titles. Given the complexity of the task and the advancement in technology used for land mapping and digitization, the GoKP requested USAID for technical assistance to implement land registration using satellite imagery, digitization, and digital mapping.. .The activity will improve the accessibility of land records; effectuate land transactions; allow the use of land as collateral; generate revenue for the provincial government; and permit economic, land, and mineral development and investments in the seven districts of the Merged Areas (MA) of the province. This work contributes to the USG's objective to expand the writ of government. .......
