Administrative Barriers to the Formalization of Indigenous and Community Land,

In this project, CIFOR is documenting the land formalization processes for communities and companies, and identifying any administrative barriers to the recognition of land rights that are unnecessary or needlessly complex.

We are doing this by examining data fields or indicators for indigenous or other communities seeking to formally gain title to their land, and identifying the same indicators for companies or investors seeking formal rights to land.

This will allow for a comparative analysis of the administrative barriers faced by communities and companies across multiple countries.
