This project paper concern to introduces the following changes in the Ukraine, Rural Land Titling and Cadastre System Development Project, which into account difficulties experienced with completing the legal framework for parts of the project due to institutional rivalries that have not been resolved. The project included a part that was supposed to establish a unified registration system covering both urban and rural areas and it included funding for the transformation of the State Land Cadastre Center (SLCC) to implement this activity. The SLCC have been unable to undertake this work because of resistance from the Ministry of Justice and it has now been agreed that resolution of the differences between the institutions is highly unlikely and that the project outcomes relating to this part can not be met. The project also included a part on farm restructuring that has seen little progress and is no longer required. Other parts of the project are progressing satisfactorily. The project restructuring is necessary in order to amend the project development objective, revise the project outcomes and reallocate resources to ensure that land titling and cadastre systems in rural areas function effectively. This also entails cancellation of the sub-loan agreement between the government and the SLCC and cancellation of the project agreement between Industrial Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the SLCC.
