This component aims to address the challenges related to tenure insecurity and inefficiency in land/property transactions. We will support the implementation of a systematic and efficient land registration process that provides legal recognition and protection of land tenure rights. This will involve the development of simplified and standardized procedures for land registration, ensuring that all land transactions are properly recorded and legally recognized.
Through this component, we will promote awareness and knowledge of land registration processes among landowners, communities, and relevant stakeholders. We will collaborate with government agencies, civil society organizations, and traditional leaders to facilitate the registration of land tenure rights and overcome the barriers faced by vulnerable groups, such as women and marginalized communities. The recording and registration of land tenure rights will contribute to reducing land disputes, promoting investment, and facilitating access to credit and other essential services for landowners. It will also enhance the transparency and efficiency of land transactions, thereby improving the overall land governance system in Sierra Leone.
