Abstract
Land is a vital resource for any nation.
It serves as the platform for carrying out social, cultural,
and economic activities. The land governance assessment
framework was developed by World Bank and its partners to
provide a tool for diagnosis of land governance issues,
establish benchmarks, and monitor progress over time. It
comprises a set of detailed indicators to be rated on a
scale of pre - coded statements. The process helps to
establish a consensus and priority actions on: (i) gaps in
existing evidence; (ii) areas for regulatory or
institutional change; and (iii) criteria to assess the
effectiveness of these measures. This document represents
the country report for the Philippines. It describes the
process for implementation and the country context. The
assessment of land governance is also presented, as well as
the policy analysis, conclusions, and recommendations. The
report is intended to serve as a reference guide for
government and other land practitioners in non-government
organizations, private sector, academe, and other groups to
help shape the direction, focus, and support for the land
sector, and how progress in improving governance can be
effectively monitored.
