Congressmen and land institutions met with the Embassy of the Netherlands to learn about the FFP methodology

Senators, members of the House of Representatives, and officials from land institutions met with the Kadaster team and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to discuss the FFP methodology and seek joint cooperation actions that can help the country improve and meet its goals associated with land formalization.

Ernst Norman, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands; Enrique Dussan, Governor of Huila; and Mathilde Molendijk, representative of Kadaster for Latin America, introduced the objective of discussing the current land administration situation in Colombia and its relationship with the participatory Fit for Purpose methodology in Colombia.

During the meeting, technological advances for land formalization were discussed by different institutions, and the research progress made by Land in Peace together with the Externado University of Colombia was shared. This research deals with legislative reforms that allow guaranteeing tenure security to farmers and meeting the goals proposed by the national government.

As a result of the meeting, possible paths and strategies were established to test methodologies and apply localized legal exercises. It was also proposed to establish a working group with representatives from different entities and institutions to carry out the proposed tasks.
