2 Implementation Status Overview Project implementation has almost been completed, virtually all Credit funds have been disbursed, and most Project targets reached and in some cases surpassed. Based on preliminary results of the Project final evaluation, the following results should be highlighted: Overall, the two major outcomes of the project have been satisfactorily achieved. Through the Project a more solid and clearer legal, policy, institutional and technical land administration framework has emerged while in parallel a methodology and national capacity for systematic regularization has been developed. More specifically, (i) cadastral survey of more than 220,000 parcels in rural and urban areas, or a total area of 10, square kilometers; (ii) cadastral information transferred to 30 participating municipalities along with capacity building; (iii) 110,000 new titles issued; (iv) 15 indigenous territories titled collectively in the Caribbean, comprising over 22,000 sq km or close to 19 percent of the national territory; and (v) 17 protected areas were demarcated and 10 management plans prepared, surpassing original targets Locations Country First Administrative Division Location Planned Actual Nicaragua Departamento de Madriz Municipio de Yalaguina Nicaragua Departamento de Chinandega Municipio de Villa Nueva Nicaragua Departamento de Madriz Municipio de Totogalpa Nicaragua Departamento de Madriz Municipio de Telpaneca Nicaragua Departamento de Leon Municipio de Telica Nicaragua Departamento de Madriz Municipio de Somoto Nicaragua Departamento de Chinandega Municipio de Somotillo Nicaragua Departamento de Chinandega Municipio de Santo Tomas del Norte Nicaragua Departamento de Chinandega Municipio de San Pedro del Norte Nicaragua Departamento de Leon Municipio de San Nicolas Nicaragua Departamento de Madriz Municipio de San Lucas Nicaragua Departamento de Madriz Municipio de San Juan del Rio Coco Nicaragua Departamento de Esteli Municipio de San Juan de Limay Nicaragua Departamento de Madriz Municipio de San Jose de Cusmapa Nicaragua Departamento de Chinandega Municipio de San Francisco del Norte Nicaragua Departamento de Leon Municipio de Quezalguaque Nicaragua Departamento de Chinandega Municipio de Puerto Morazan Nicaragua Departamento de Esteli Municipio de Pueblo Nuevo Page 2 of 9
