Recognizing the need for an integrated land policy and anticipating the fundamental changes in the land administration system with the implementation of decentralization, the Government of Indonesia and the World Bank have engaged in a land policy dialogue during 2002-2003. The goal of the dialogue is to help the Government to develop a National Land Policy Framework. This report is a summary of workshops and interviews on land policy issues with central and local government officials, journalists and representatives of nongovernmental organizations. Participants were asked to reflect upon six topics: 1) land conflicts; 2) unequal distribution of land ownership/holding; 3) customary law; 4) distribution of authority between central and regional governments; 5) institutional aspects; and 6) agrarian reform.
