Frank Tierolff, Chair Executive Board of Kadaster, visited Colombia

Frank Tierolff, Chair Executive Board of Kadaster, visited Colombia to learn about and support Kadaster's projects in the country. Together with the team, he met with the director of one of the most important land institutions in Colombia (IGAC) to sign a Memorandum of Understanding that consolidates the support of Kadaster and the Netherlands in the fulfillment of the Colombian government's land goals in post-conflict territories.

He also visited the department of Huila to learn about the progress of the most recent pilot of the Land in peace project in which, through the methodology applied by Kadaster, young grassroots surveyors are trained, properties are measured with the owners, conflicts are settled in public inspections and studies are carried out together with local institutions to provide peasants with titles that give them security of land tenure.

During his visit he learned about the context of the Colombian countryside, the coffee production processes and the importance of land tenure for the peasants. He also met with the local government to strengthen the alliances and impacts of the project.
