Issues: Large unmet need and high demand.  Gender concerns were adequately covered in the project design, but not given sufficient focus during project implementation.  Women are under-represented in the village and local institutions. As a result, women’s land rights are easily overlooked or not taken seriously.  Until 2008, joint titling was not promoted and rarely done.  Barriers to women’s participation identified 8 Implementation of the land titling process and beneficiary satisfaction Gender Concerns

10. Acceptance and ownership of the CDA process  The Community-Driven Adjudication (CDA) approach has both local legitimacy and legal backing of the government. There is high public confidence in the land title certificates.  The process is seen as reinforcing traditional adat land rights  The restoration of land rights was seen as critical to supporting social stability and securing livelihoods. Appropriateness of the CDA model  The CDA approach is effective in securing land rights and reducing land conflicts in a post-disaster, post-conflict situation  The CDA Model is portable and replicable in a wide range of conditions. 10

11. Policy and Institutional Development to support preparedness  The restoration of land rights was seen as critical to supporting social stability and securing livelihoods.  National Land Policy should include clear focus on disaster preparedness  Land institutions should be prepared to respond to new and increasing demands (proactive approach)  Building partnerships is the key to success (Gov – NGO – CSO – Donor – local authorities – communities)  Data and proper data management /storage are critical speedy recovery 11
