Channel: Social Tenure Domain Model
Date: 2019-05-22

This video showcases the implementation of GLTN land tools and approaches to enhance the framework and Land Information System using a customized version of GLTN’s Social Tenure Domain Model (STDM) in Beni’s Masiani neighborhood under the Sharing the Land project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). In this phase of implementation, 1,414 parcels of land were mapped which represents 52% of Masiani households. Land administration officials, customary chiefs and the community including women and youth had their capacity enhanced on various land tools such as the STDM, land mediation, participatory enumerations, the continuum of land rights among others. A total of 66 persons acquired land titles in the course of project implementation which includes 17 women.
STL is currently expanding its work to three new sites in rural areas of North Kivu, South Kivu and Ituri provinces. In collaboration with the DRC’s government and local community members, the project will integrate Community Land Use Planning (CLUP) processes in developing and piloting the Land Information and Management System, based on the STDM.
