ABSTRACT

The project for Land and Real Estate Registration has been considered and planned during the land and agrarian reform project in the Kyrgyz Republic. It was originally intended to be one of the institutional arrangements to be operational before the actual start of land distribution. The preparation phase for such a project in the Kyrgyz Republic started as a relatively small project about eight years after the process of land reform began in the country. The reality is that most farmers have taken possession of their land or have distributed the land among themselves on the basis of land certificates prepared and issued by agencies other than the new land registration organization. With the poor mapping in some areas, there is ample opportunity for contradictions and this sometimes causes land conflicts and disputes. All the relevant forms for land registration had been developed and the maps covering the areas for the newly opening offices were prepared from existing mapping.
