Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

The long-term objective is to address the land information requirements of women and men living in slum communities and to build their capacity in the use and application of the land information systems based on free and open source software packages and in mainstreaming the thinking behind the continuum of land rights in their community driven approaches like participatory enumerations. This will form a basis for dialogue between local communities and cities in negotiations for improving tenure security, inclusive planning and enhancing access to basic services and infrastructure. 

 The First Phase

 The first phase of the project has successfully pilot tested the Social Tenure Domain Model in two informal settlements of the Municipality of Mbale, Uganda and was integrated in the whole mapping and enumeration exercise led by slum communities. The first phase was dovetailed to the existing project initiative called Transforming the Settlements of the Urban Poor in Uganda (TSUPU) by the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development (MoLHUD) of the Government of Uganda as co-financed by Cities Alliance and partly being implemented by Shack/Slum Dwellers International (SDI).

 

The first phase has also started the documentation of the process, the dissemination of learning and experience and capacity building requirements around its use and application. The previous project also conducted a training of trainers on STDM use and application not only for Ugandan stakeholders but also for other participants from other countries. The Project has also established a regional learning center for STDM use and application which is intended for future training activities and technical support. The pilot project was highlighted in a Networking event on 04 September 2012 during the World Urban Forum in Naples, Italy.

 The Second Phase

                

Building from the lessons and experiences from the Phase 1 project, UN-Habitat and SDI with other key implementing partners, commit to implement a second phase. The second phase will focus on scaling up the capacity development initiatives on the use and application of Social Tenure Domain Model (STDM) in Uganda and in other select cities/countries particularly in countries where existing GLTN and SDI partners are operating and where similar programs like TSUPU (in Uganda) is being implemented through the support of Cities Alliance and government. /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";} table.MsoTableMediumGrid2 {mso-style-name:"Medium Grid 2"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:1; mso-tstyle-colband-size:1; mso-style-priority:1; mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-link:"Medium Grid 2 Char"; border:solid black 1.0pt; mso-border-themecolor:text1; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-border-insideh:1.0pt solid black; mso-border-insideh-themecolor:text1; mso-border-insidev:1.0pt solid black; mso-border-insidev-themecolor:text1; mso-tstyle-shading:silver; mso-tstyle-shading-themecolor:text1; mso-tstyle-shading-themetint:63; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";} table.MsoTableMediumGrid2FirstRow {mso-style-name:"Medium Grid 2"; mso-table-condition:first-row; mso-style-priority:1; mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-link:"Medium Grid 2 Char"; mso-tstyle-shading:#E6E6E6; mso-tstyle-shading-themecolor:text1; mso-tstyle-shading-themetint:25;} table.MsoTableMediumGrid2LastRow {mso-style-name:"Medium Grid 2"; mso-table-condition:last-row; mso-style-priority:1; mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-link:"Medium Grid 2 Char"; mso-tstyle-shading:white; mso-tstyle-shading-themecolor:background1; mso-tstyle-border-top:1.5pt solid black; mso-tstyle-border-top-themecolor:text1; mso-tstyle-border-left:cell-none; mso-tstyle-border-bottom:cell-none; mso-tstyle-border-right:cell-none; mso-tstyle-border-insideh:cell-none; mso-tstyle-border-insidev:cell-none;} table.MsoTableMediumGrid2FirstCol {mso-style-name:"Medium Grid 2"; mso-table-condition:first-column; mso-style-priority:1; mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-link:"Medium Grid 2 Char"; mso-tstyle-shading:white; mso-tstyle-shading-themecolor:background1; mso-tstyle-border-top:cell-none; mso-tstyle-border-left:cell-none; mso-tstyle-border-bottom:cell-none; mso-tstyle-border-right:cell-none; mso-tstyle-border-insideh:cell-none; mso-tstyle-border-insidev:cell-none;} table.MsoTableMediumGrid2LastCol {mso-style-name:"Medium Grid 2"; mso-table-condition:last-column; mso-style-priority:1; mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-link:"Medium Grid 2 Char"; mso-tstyle-shading:#CCCCCC; mso-tstyle-shading-themecolor:text1; mso-tstyle-shading-themetint:51; mso-tstyle-border-top:cell-none; mso-tstyle-border-left:cell-none; mso-tstyle-border-bottom:cell-none; mso-tstyle-border-right:cell-none; mso-tstyle-border-insideh:cell-none; mso-tstyle-border-insidev:cell-none;} table.MsoTableMediumGrid2OddColumn {mso-style-name:"Medium Grid 2"; mso-table-condition:odd-column; mso-style-priority:1; mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-link:"Medium Grid 2 Char"; mso-tstyle-shading:gray; mso-tstyle-shading-themecolor:text1; mso-tstyle-shading-themetint:127;} table.MsoTableMediumGrid2OddRow {mso-style-name:"Medium Grid 2"; mso-table-condition:odd-row; mso-style-priority:1; mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-link:"Medium Grid 2 Char"; mso-tstyle-shading:gray; mso-tstyle-shading-themecolor:text1; mso-tstyle-shading-themetint:127; mso-tstyle-border-insideh:.75pt solid black; mso-tstyle-border-insideh-themecolor:text1; mso-tstyle-border-insidev:.75pt solid black; mso-tstyle-border-insidev-themecolor:text1;} table.MsoTableMediumGrid2NWCell {mso-style-name:"Medium Grid 2"; mso-table-condition:nw-cell; mso-style-priority:1; mso-style-unhide:no; mso-style-link:"Medium Grid 2 Char"; mso-tstyle-shading:white; mso-tstyle-shading-themecolor:background1;}
