Haitian Land Policy: Progress, Issues and Challenges for Land-Security and Cadastre Programs
Summary: This CTFD synthesis reviews Haiti’s land-security and cadastre policy after the 2010-2016 French-supported program and BID rural land-security work. It summarizes presentations and debates on the next cycle of land reform support.
Key Findings
- The 2010-2016 cadastre and land-security program created a basis for reform but did not settle core institutional questions.
- CIAT fieldwork and legal analysis point to unresolved land-management bottlenecks.
- Future donor support requires clearer sequencing and institutional coordination.
- Urban and rural evidence must both shape the reform agenda.
Full Description
The note records a 2017 CTFD discussion introduced by CIAT executive secretary Michèle Oriol and informed by field and legal work by Alain Rochegude and Véronique Dorner. It documents what had been learned from cadastre and land-security pilots and highlights institutional, legal and operational challenges for a renewed reform cycle.
