Formalisation of land rights in Myanmar

Description: 

Documents and analyses on land tenure in Burma/Myanmar..... "1.Reconcile legality and legitimacy through clear legal recognition of existing acknowledged rights, whatever their origin (customary or statutory) or nature (individual or collective, temporary or permanent). 2.Initiate widespread debate on the choice of society that the land policies will serve (and target), the opportunities for formalisation, how it will be implemented and its possible alternatives. 3.Build consensus between all the actors concerned (central and local governments, local people, the land administration, professionals in the sector), and sustain the political will needed to implement formalisation procedures. 4.Define a realistic implementation strategy which recognises the vital importance of establishing effective and transparent governance and/or administration of land rights. 5.Progressive implementation that leaves room for learning, experimentation and adjustment. 6.Ensure from the outset that the land services will be financially viable, and put in place mechanisms to fund them."
