In accordance with the planned activities of the CILAP project on December 14, 2015 a Workshop with a topic “Integrity Building in Land Administration” will be held in Banja Luka.

The Workshop will be led by expert Ms. Emina Abrahamsdotter and it will be attended by both administrations for Geodetic and Real Property Affairs top management and representatives of RERP project implementation units from both enteties.

The objective of the Workshop was:

  • Understanding basic concepts about gender equality and learning to see gender inequalities
  • Why it is important and how gender equality is associated with land administration?
  • Introduction to the national and international legal framework for gender equality
  • Gender equality instruments and mechanisms

During the workshop discussion was held on consequences of gender inequality in land administration with emphasis how both geodetic administrations can influence, on what way to build and develop institutional and personal integrity related to this issue. The workshop was jointly concluded that it is necessary to influence on general public as BiH authorities are obliged to initiate affirmative action to ensure equality according to international standards and national laws. Such measures include preferential treatment or quotas to improve the access of women, not only employment, but also education, policy and social protection. The first step towards this will be informing women in BiH with the ownership right and its registration during the process of harmonization of land registry and cadastral data in both entities.
