World Bank to fund Accelerate Agrarian Reform project in Indonesia

The objective of the Program to Accelerate Agrarian Reform (One Map Project) for Indonesia is to establish clarity on actual land rights and land use at the village level in the target areas.

Accelerate Agrarian Reform project in Indonesia will get financing support from the World Bank. The funding of US$ 240.00 million has been approved for the project in Indonesia.

The objective of the Program to Accelerate Agrarian Reform (One Map Project) for Indonesia is to establish clarity on actual land rights and land use at the village level in the target areas. There are three components to the project, the first component being participatory mapping and agrarian reform.

The objective of this component is to produce village level parcel boundary maps in the project target areas, record all land right claims, and facilitate land rights regularization and registration in the Electronic Land Administration System (eLand), covering all legal rights including communal rights, and joint and individual ownership registration for women.

The approach is participatory and inclusive with regular community consultations and engagement during implementation. The component will finance: (i) preparatory data acquisition, collection and processing for PTSL; (ii) inclusive and participatory implementation of PTSL in project target provinces; (iii) development of eLand; and (iv) rolling out of eLand in project regencies; and (v) land rights regularization and registration in the eLand system, and (vi) land rights documents issuance; and (vii) legal assistance, and support to dispute resolution and appeals.

The second component is the geospatial data infrastructure for environmental and natural resource management. The objective of this component is to improve the access to and the availability of geospatial information for agrarian reform, land and tenure rights regularization and administration, and environmental and natural resource management in the target provinces.

The project will (i) support the densification of the CORS network; (ii) strengthen the NSDI technology infrastructure and services, and (iii) support the geo-referencing of existing data of high-resolution satellite imagery (in LAPAN37) for the working map in project target areas.
