| Summary: | The Ministry of Justice of the
Government of Timor-Leste (GoTL) has requested assistance
from the World Bank Justice for the poor program to develop
policy options for the implementation of chapter five of the
draft land law. The present paper has been developed in
response to this request. It is intended as a work in
progress and a contribution to the dialogue on the community
land policy of Timor- Leste. This paper sets out policy
options for the implementation of chapter five of the draft
land law. Based on comparative research in similar
environments, and case-based research and consultations in
Timor-Leste, this paper lays out the issues that the
regulation implementing chapter five will most likely need
to address, and for each such issue sets out several policy
options available to address the issue together with
analysis of the strengths and weakness of those options. The
paper seeks to identify potential risks relating to the
process of formulating and implementing policy for chapter
five, and to describe risk mitigation strategies that have
proved useful in other settings. The paper seeks to describe
policy options and analyze the bases for those options,
rather than recommend adoption of particular options, so as
to support a detailed discussion of potential options in Timor. |
