LAMP II is a 5 year project with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) as the Government’s lead agency.
The Australian Government is providing funding through AusAID for technical assistance for LAMP II. AusAID has contracted LEI as the Australian Managing Contractor (AMC) responsible for project management for the first 3 years of the project (i.e. February 2006 to January 2009).
The goal of LAMP II is to reform the land administration system so that it contributes to the country’s socio-economic development goals.
The purpose of LAMP II is to accelerate the process of land administration reform and apply the lessons of LAMP I in selected regions, provinces and municipalities to support the progressive expansion of tenure security and the adoption of approved property valuation standards and procedures through sustainable partnership agreements.
