1 GLTN Partner s Meeting November 1 st -6 th 2015

2 1. GLTN Partner s meeting 1.1 Follow-up and review of the post-2015 development Agenda: Clarissa Augustinus, UN-Habitat, discussed GLTN and GLII, saying the GLTN has done a good job so far at the technical level, but now the hard part is the implementation. She described the need for a chain of accountability to keep involved actors accountable in implementation. Stating, Collaboration is needed now even more for sustainability, Clarissa described UN-Habitat s involvement in the GLTN and GLII highlighting UN-Habitat s activities to test the GLII methodologies in African countries. Land is one of the cross-cutting issues in the SDGs. 1.2 Opening and Introductory session: High level support to GLTN from UN-Habitat was highlighted. GLTNs relevance to global processes and agendas was highlighted but also the relevance of GLTN on a country level. What has been done so far and what is expected in the future was discussed. 1.3 Land and Tenure Security in the Global development process: Discussion was framed on the key global processes: SDGs, Habitat III and VGGTs and how they impact on the work of GLTN. To be noted here is that there is a competition among GLTN, LGAF and VGGT and there should be a collective action demanded by donors on how to proceed and with what tool and how they can be coordinated. The discussion has begun at the Global Donor Working Group on Land that Norway is not part of but a recommendation is that it should maybe be considered; GLTN Country and regional level work: Presentations on GLTN s work at country level to identify gaps, challenges and synergies. Plan for Monitoring, reviewing and evaluating GLTN: Presentation of the GLTN Phase 2 Mid-Term Evaluation methodology and time frame. IAB will be reviewing the work of the MTR team and provide feedback and guidance during the process. Individual interviews were carried out by the two consultants and feedback on in particular the expectations on the MTR was encouraged. 1.6 Election of IAB Members and preparation of the Cluster work plans: All clusters selected new representatives and discussed work plans for Maria Lodin was representing Kartverket and Lantmäteriet in the Professional Cluster and the Norwegian and Swedish ministries of Foreign affairs in the Bilateral/Multilateral Cluster. Both Clusters selected new IAB members; Thea Thilhorst, the World Bank for the Bilateral/Multilateral Cluster and Chrissy Potsiou,

3 FIG for the Professional Cluster. Both Clusters will develop a work plan throughout the month of November via correspondence. 1.7 The latest thinking on GLTN land tools: Presentation and update for partners on tool development to get feedback and suggestions on the way forward. Tools in the GLTN so far; 1. Participatory and Inclusive Land Readjustment, PILaR 2. Land Based Financing, LBF 3. Continuum of Land Rights ( Mother of all land tools) 4. Social Tenure Domain Model, STDM 5. Participatory Enumeration (data-gathering process) 6. Pro-Poor Land Recordation (Keeping of papers) 7. Youth and Land Responsiveness Criteria 8. Gender Evaluation Criteria, GEC 9. Multiverse of women 10. Women s land and housing in Muslim contexts 11. Global Land Indicators Initiative, GLII 12. Land Use Planning for Tenure Security 13. Fit-For-Purpose Land Administration 1.8 Change in leadership: The change in GLTN leadership from Clarissa Augustinus to Oumar Sylla was recognized by all members. There is also a change within the rest of the GLTN secretariat that IAB will be continuously updated on. However the secretariat seems stable under Oumar s leadership and the works continues uninterrupted. 2. IAB: International Advisory Board meeting was held on the last day with both previous and newly elected members participated. Sweden and Norway has a permanent place as substantial donors together with the Netherlands. Minutes will be forwarded as soon as received but key issues discussed were; Reflections from the Partner s meeting, Mid-term-review, Mid-year-report, Clusters governance and upcoming events (Habitat III among others). 2.1 Follow-up Work Plan Professional Cluster Work Plan Bi/Multi-lateral Cluster Mid-term-review

4 3. Site visit to STDM site: Mashimoni No. 10 is one of the 13 settlements in Mathare valley, one of the most populated slum areas in Nairobi. Mathare is located approximately 3km from the city s central business district and is sandwiched between the two main highways Juja Road and Thika Road. The name Mashimoni is derived from Kiswahili meaning inside the pits/holes. Number 10 refers to the bus stage on Juja road through which the residents can access the city centre. During colonial times, today s Mashimoni No. 10 area used to be part of a stone quarry. After the stone quarry was closed, the government allocated large parts of the land to the Kenya Air Force (KAF) who originally used the area as shooting range. First squatters settled in the 1980s when the KAF stopped using the land for their training. In 2014, Mashimoni had around 1600 structures. In 2011, the local authorities commenced discussions for the regularization of the settlement. Earlier, the community had started enumerations and mapping supported by Pamoja Trust, a national NGO, to support them in dealing with the security of tenure and livelihood challenges. UN-Habitat/GLTN and Pamoja Trust signed an Agreement of Cooperation where Mashimoni No. 10 has been selected as one of the sites for using STDM for enumerations, mapping and community engagement with relevant authorities.

5 The Social Tenure Domain Model (STDM) is an ISO-approved land information tool offering a complimentary land administration system that is pro-poor, gender-sensitive, affordable and sustainable. The STDM is interactive where men, women and youths can ably interface with the tool, using the computer applications to record land relationships. It involves all sections of society including the youth, single women, the elderly and the married people. Vulnerability has greatly been reduced and there is increased community empowerment in negotiating with the local authorities and the land owners. STDM implementation in Mashimoni has facilitated informed interaction of community members with Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Programme through Settlement Executive Committee. The STDM team in Mashimoni is the actualization of the vision that STDM implementation does not require high educational qualifications, since community members are able to use STDM following training. The visit started with a walk through the neighborhood and ended with a meeting in the local church were information was presented by community representatives about how the community has benefited from the use of STDM.

Side-event on Access to Land for women in Muslim and conflict countries : Presentations and discussions on access to housing, land and property for women in Muslim and conflict countries. HLP is one of the principal factors determining the economic and social wellbeing of women, especially in situations of conflict and reconstruction when their rights are violated on a mass scale. Demographic changes that occur during conflict result in higher numbers of single women and women-headed households. In general, women-headed households have a higher dependency burden than male-headed households. Poverty in these households is significantly aggravated when gender-biased inheritance laws deprive women of access to the property of a deceased or missing spouse.
