Handing out first land property titles in Cumaribo, Vichada
One of the 20 beneficiaries receives her title from the Cumaribo’s Mayor Juan Carlos Cordero.
20 Cumaribenses have received their land property title during a ceremony at the Mayor's Office of Cumaribo with virtual assistants from Bogotá and the Netherlands. The 20 beneficiaries are the first of 300 families to receive their title in the coming weeks.
During this event, the Presidential Counselor, the Director of IGAC, the Director of SNR, the Ambassador of the Netherlands and the Government of Vichada gave their words of congratulations to the new owners.
The titles are the result of a cooperation between the Colombian state and the Netherlands where the Fit for Purpose methodology was applied to collect the information of the beneficiaries and with that speed up the titling process.
““Tener el título de un terreno es muy importante para la población. Y dios quiera que estos 300 beneficiarios sean solamente el inicio de toda la población que necesita tener los títulos de su terreno propio. Porque no hay nada mas importante que tener una propiedad titulada a decir esto es mío pero legalmente no me pertenece. Muchísimas gracias. ””
The Presidency of Colombia, SNR, IGAC, the Embassy of the Netherlands and the Government of Vichada were virtually present during the ceremony.
