Integration of Land Information and Geospatial Systems for Green Economic Recovery (ILIGS-GER)

Project Summary:

Over the past 20 years, reforms in the Vietnam land sector are a centerpiece of the Government’s Doi Moi (reform) process and is widely recognized as one of the important drivers of Vietnam’s rapid growth and poverty reduction. As Vietnam embarks on the next decade of land policy reform, the World Bank has a unique opportunity to influence strategic policy decisions on how land assets are used and managed by assisting with the improvement of data quality and integration of land and geospatial information data in a selected province in Vietnam. In addition, the grant will also provide policy and knowledge support for incorporating a ‘green growth’ concept into the forthcoming land policy and land law revisions at the national level. The grant is linked to an on-going World Bank lending operation “Vietnam Improved Land Governance and Databases”.

• Activity 3.3: Knowledge exchange events about LIS/GIS integration, planning support system for smart and resilient city planning, and green growth concept incorporated into land policy formation/revision.

Outcomes:

Output 1

• Situation analysis report on the assessment of the Land Information System (LIS) (including data quality, interoperability, legal/regulatory, capacity, etc.), including a Roadmap for addressing data quality issues and national scale-up
• Draft guidelines report for using the integrated LIS/GIS for key applications

Output 2
