A few days ago, Esri issued an interesting blogpost on their site on the Colombia land administration project in which our colleague Javier Morales is quite heavily involved. It is a good read and provides rapid access to details of interest of this important project that I believe is a nice example of institutional strengthening work at ITC.
Last Friday, with the presence of the Dutch Ambassador in Colombia Mr. Robert van Embden, an agreement was signed between the Dutch Kadaster, the various agencies responsible for land formalization in Colombia and us to work towards better ways to update their cadastral system for rural areas. Their current procedures are very slow and very expensive.
I don’t know how rtvoost got hold of all this information already on Friday. Off course that is what journalists do.
