Capacity Assessment of Land Administration and Management in Bangladesh: Critical Reflections on Institutional Processes, Capabilities and Gaps

Capacity of local land administration has to be addressed for further strengthening the governance system with a view to deriving the benefits of socio-economic, political and cultural development for the common people of this country.

Representatives of LGIs, development workers, civil society members and international development partners, time and again, are raising and firmly advocating this long-drawn issue at policy level. The policy makers have demonstrated their positive attitude and actions as well. However, the ground realities are far from certain as evidenced in the documents and practices.
