LEI Assist the Yemen Government to Strengthen their new Land Agency

For the past 12 months LEI have been assisting the Government of Yemen to deliver improved land services under a new land agency GALSUP (General Authority for Land Survey and Urban Planning). We assisted the Government of Yemen in formulating a national and local level policy and regulatory framework for public land management, land registration, and urban planning following the consolidation of these activities in GALSUP.

Some of our accomplishments include:

• delivering two strategic plans, one for a public land inventory for Taiz city and the other for a “model land authority branch office”, to be piloted in Taiz governorate
• revising 3 laws (Land Registration, State Land Management and Urban Planning) and drafting 2 laws (Public Land management and Urban Planning)
• drafting Executive regulations and a Manual for the Land Registration Law
• revising the GALSUP organizational decree and proposing amendments to strengthen Authority functions
• revising the existing GALSUP organizational structure and preparing job descriptions, mandates, roles and responsibilities for GALSUP staff
• delivering a Statement of Requirements, Implementation Plan, and Architectural Requirements for a Computerised Land Registration System
• undertaking two policy studies in Public Land Management and Land Use (Urban Planning)
