Improving Modern Land Registration in Indonesia
Support of the ATR/BPN in the organisational and institutional transition is needed to achieve the Government's ambition of mapping all land plots in Indonesia by 2025.

Although land administration is not a direct focus of the Embassy, a good land administration system and a reliable real estate market is fundamental for economic and social stability and gender equality in Indonesia and is considered one of the most important pillars for economic development.

It provides a stabilising factor for foreign investment and supports the local climate for economic growth.

Digitising Archives Armenia
The aim of this project is to support the Real Estate Cadastre Committee of the Republic of Armenia (RECC) in the digitisation of cadastral archives in Armenia, a key activity of the RECC's five-year plan aimed at a more transparent, secure, uniform and citizen-oriented cadastral system. This project will contribute to Armenia's economic development and the strengthening of the private sector, as cadastral archives will become more transparent and the quality of land and property documentation will improve.

Land at Scale Rwanda
Kadaster has collaborated with the Rwanda Land Management and Use Authority (RLMUA) since 2008. The last project focused on the land administration information system extension and upgrade. In August 2021, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) programme Land-at-Scale approved a funding application to continue the cooperation for the next four years.

SPATIAL II Western Balkan
The follow-up project to Spatial I will further strengthen professional access to land information in the Western Balkans, now that we have a better and common understanding of the current situation in the region regarding developments to provide reliable spatial information to society.

The project will contribute to supporting the national cadastre and land registration organisations (NMCA) to achieve, among other things, the effective management of spatial information and effective land administration.
