The CIAT Land Notebooks No. 3: The Basic Land Plan in Baillergeau, Lessons Learned

Summary: Issue no. 3 of CIAT's land-tenure notebook series documents the Basic Land Plan pilot in Baillergeau, Port-au-Prince. Published in July 2018, it follows the same applied land-administration method as the Bas Peu-de-Chose cahier, with attention to neighborhood history, land structure, parcel evidence, conflicts and policy lessons.
Key Findings
Full Description

This cahier extends CIAT's Basic Land Plan lessons to Baillergeau, allowing comparison across two Port-au-Prince neighborhoods. Its value is practical and institutional: it shows how a land-security tool behaves when applied to a dense urban area where local names, historical occupation, parcel evidence and conflict records must all be reconciled. Read alongside the first two land notebooks, it completes the known CIAT series arc from national land-policy orientation to two neighborhood pilots, giving planners and land administrators concrete material on what cadastral regularization requires in the capital.
