Developing more simple and transparent procedures for investors to acquire land, secure property rights and obtain building permits.
The objective of the Investment Climate Program (ICP) is to pilot implementation of reforms in support of private sector development. The project, is a continuation of an earlier diagnosis, which aims to assist initially two selected states in developing more simple and transparent procedures for investors to acquire land, secure property rights and obtain building permits. The end result should lead to: (a) a reduction in the time and cost for investors in land related investment procedures (i.e., acquiring, securing and developing land); b) the improvement of land governance; and c) enhanced compliance with the necessary regulatory requirements (e.g., zoning, construction, and environment).
LEI designed and developed specific reform steps that could be undertaken by the state government to a) enhance the clarity and consistency of the procedures, b) develop a strategy to streamline the institutional framework and build capacity, and c) launch implementation activities. LEI also provided ongoing implementation support to the state governments in implementing the recommended reforms.
