Terms of Reference For developing Enterprise Framework for Bangladesh Land Information Management. Access to Information - II Prime Minister’s Office Government of Bangladesh 1. Introduction The UNDP funded Access to Information (a2i) Program at the Prime Minister’s Office has been spearheading the government’s efforts to take services to the door-step of the people for the last few years and has achieved significant successes in drawing national attention and gaining much-soughtafter leverage in influencing ICT related policies with great impact on national development. Bangladesh, a South-Asian developing country is characterized by very high population growth and scare land. It spills out jumbled and spontaneous land development within urban areas as well as other areas within the country. The rapid increase of population is continuously reducing the land-man ratio of the country. The rate of land transfer and conversion is also very high in Bangladesh. Rapid population growth combined with fast rate of land transformation urges for an effective land administration and management system. However, the conventional land administration system cannot keep pace with the growing demand and changing situation of the land market. Inappropriate land administration and management system is the cause for unplanned growth, and this eventually generates problems in community life. Traditional land records increase difficulties in the security of land tenure and land transfer. For this, it becomes an obligation to establish a compatible land administration and management system by setting up a holistic approach. Land Information System (LIS) is the most feasible systematic approach for developing an efficient land administration and management system in Bangladesh. This paper focuses on the issues that are needed to be addressed in formulating a viable land administration and management policy for the planned and controlled growth in Bangladesh. The A2I Phase II project has been working on indentifying way of better Land Management system supported by ICT innovation being simplified by standard BPR. Delivery of social justice through proper land management and development is important for effective governance which is an integral part of digital Bangladesh mission. A common information management framework in Land sector is an indentified necessity that can supplement digital Bangladesh mission. 2. Scope of work 2.1.
