We were invited by Commission V to socialize our progress in the use of the FFP methodology

Commission V of the House of Representatives invited us together with ANT, IGAC and DNP to show the progress we have made in land issues. Leontine Crisson, agricultural counselor of the Embassy of the Netherlands, and Mathilde Molendijk, Kadaster's regional manager for Latin America, socialized the results of the research on the legal simplification of rural land formalization that we conducted together with the Externado University of Colombia. Understanding the legal barriers helps to promote the use of more agile, economic and collaborative methodologies that facilitate the fulfillment of government goals.

During the political control session, several institutional and Chamber representatives addressed the relevance of the land issue and the urgency of updating the cadastre in the country. Leontine Crisson gave an introduction about the benefits of the Ffp methodology, especially its agility and collaborative work. Mathilde Molendijk, the next speaker, addressed the importance of legal simplification for the fulfillment of government goals. From there, Dr. María del Pilar García, explained the details of the research conducted by the Universidad Externado to overcome some legal bottlenecks for land formalization.

Participation in this scenario is evidence of the interest in supporting the Colombian government in meeting the land formalization goals of the Peace Accord. The use of new methodologies together with legal modifications can help streamline the processes and make them more economical and collaborative.
