LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) iii

Executive Summary

CONTEXT Colombia continues to experience political unrest and struggles related to the implementation of the peace accords now that the “fast track” mechanism is over (November 30). This mechanism, which was designed to streamline reforms that would support implementation of key issues on the peace agreement, finalized with around 45% of the proposed bills approved by Congress, some of which are still under review by the Constitutional Court. The Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz (JEP), for example, is under review.

Three key bills that primarily affect the land and rural development component of the accords were rejected. These bills include the Cadaster Statue (institutional reform for the implementation of multipurpose cadaster), the Land Irrigation and Drainage law (adecuación de tierras), and a draft bill which sought titling of state-owned land (baldíos) in small, rural communities in forested areas.

The Decree 902, issued in May 2017, which addresses massive formalization plans, the creation of a land fund, and a unified procedure for land formalization, was regulated by ANT and is now under implementation, although the decree still awaits concept from the Constitutional Court. The ANT’s regulation is critical for the roll-out of the Ovejas formalization pilot, and the Land and Rural Development Program (LRDP) foresees challenges in providing support to the ANT and other entities that are behind the implementation of this new procedure, which is being applied in parallel with the historic Law 160. First, implementing two procedures means that beneficiaries of massive formalization have the choice of the regulation under which they want their parcel formalized. For this to be fair, the pilot would carry out awareness raising campaigns and collect the decision of every landowner in Ovejas. Beyond the potentially meticulous work, if the Constitutional Court does not approve Decree 902, then the pilot is required to carry out massive formalization under the procedures dictated by Law 160; and if the pilot has already advanced work under Decree 902, progress would be declared invalid.

Regarding multipurpose cadaster, the Government of Colombia (GOC) is adjusting the legislative proposal according to modifications from the Senate and will prioritize this new bill for congressional sessions, in order for it to be passed before the end of the current administration. Adjustments in the reform return the leadership and operation of the rural cadaster to Agustin Codazzi Geographic Institute (IGAC), which in turn poses an immense challenge on institutional capacity and the resources needed to respond to numerous and more complex responsibilities of an entity already struggling to achieve its current goals. LRDP will increase efforts to support institutional coordination and commitments for the Ovejas pilot in order to minimize risk during implementation.

Two key counterparts underwent changes in leadership: the Rural Development Agency (ADR) and the Superintendence of Notary and Registry (SNR). As of December 21, former Vice Minister Juan Pablo Diazgranados replaced Carlos Eduardo Gechem as President of the ADR. On December 29, Jairo Mesa was officially appointed Superintendent of the SNR. LRDP does not anticipate that these changes will have a significant impact on our work due to our advanced stage of implementation. The new leaders will most likely maintain the current technical and political orientation of both institutions, reflecting President Santos’ intentions to consolidate GOC goals when appointing them so late in his administration.

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) 1 Despite current political environment and institutional challenges, in the quarter LRDP continued to deliver impactful results that contribute to our overall objectives of increasing the GOC’s capacity to implement land policies and enable rural families to access public goods to enhance their livelihoods. By concentrating on regional counterparts and local entities, which will remain in office for two more years, LRDP continues to strengthen the sustainability of the activities in implementation, even as the program approaches the closure of regional offices in the following quarter.

KEY ADVANCES While preparations for national elections has introduced significant implementation challenges, the program nevertheless made ample progress toward achieving project goals and targets during the quarter. Highlights of our progress include the following: • Rural Integrated Approach: Government agencies—Ministry of Agriculture, ANT, ADR and LRU—unite to deliver land and development services in Southern Tolima. The event commemorated the placing of the cornerstone of the coffee drying facility supported under the LRDP-facilitated PPP and saw delivery of titles to 145 rural parcels, six of which correspond to recently restituted families and 97 of which belong to families associated with the coffee PPP.Resource mobilization: In the period, the program mobilized more than COP $29,000 million, which exceeds the Program’s quarterly targets, and brings the total amount of funds mobilized to over COP $197,000 million. •

• Formalization of school properties: Series of “Escuelatón” events delivered 70 titles for rural schools, the vast majority secured with LRDP support, in Meta, Sucre, Cesar, and Cauca, benefiting over 4000 students.

• Ovejas Pilot: Two tests carried in the veredas of Ovejitas and Canutalito, revealing issues requiring attention and corresponding measures to remedy them.

• Government partners: MOU signed between USAID and IGAC, with USAID delivering satellite imagery to support land administration and management and IGAC committing to partnering with local governments to use the information to inform land interventions. USAID also delivered a CORS geo-reference station in Ovejas.

• Women’s land rights: Historical decree that guarantees and protects rural land rights for women passed by the municipality Santander de Quilichao, with potential for replication in other municipalities.

• PPPs: Four PPPs signed in Cauca to support the lulo, blackberry, tree tomato, and plantain value chains, bringing the total number of PPPs mobilized by the program to 14.

• Rural Women: 240 women in Cauca graduated from leadership training provided through the Escuela Itinerante. • Information management: Digitization of land files for 16 public registry offices completed. • IT systems: Five electronic information systems completed at both national and regional levels, including design of the Land Information System for the ANT.

2 LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) Introduction and Background

LRDP began in July 2013 and is a five-year task order under the Strengthening Tenure and Resource Rights Indefinite Quantity Contract. We help the GOC improve its ability to resolve the many complicated land issues that have plagued the country for years and that must be resolved to achieve a lasting peace. Our four integrated objectives also form the program’s structural components:

1. Improved capacity of the GOC at the regional and national levels to restitute lands to victims of conflict (Restitution Component).

2. Improved capacity of regional and national GOC institutions to formalize rural property rights and to allocate public lands (baldíos) (Formalization Component).

3. Improved capacity of regional and national government entities to mobilize and execute public resources for rural public goods (Rural Development Component).

4. Improved information available and efficiently used to deliver land rights services (Information Sharing and Management Component).

After four years of intense negotiations in Havana, Cuba, between the GOC and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, both parties signed a peace accord in the final months of 2016 with the intent of ending more than 50 years of civil war. Although several controversies swirled around the final terms of the agreement, they did not center on the agreement’s commitments to strengthen land tenure security and rural livelihoods, giving the program significant latitude to continue collaborating with the GOC to facilitate restitution, strengthen smallholder land rights, and mobilize the provision of public goods and services in historically neglected rural areas—and thereby create the conditions for sustaining peace. Our results are achieved through the following approaches:

• Adapting to an ever-changing sociopolitical environment to effectively engage new government institutions and new local government authorities.

• Defining and promoting the adoption of international best practices for implementing quick, efficient, scalable land formalization activities to ensure that citizens have secure land tenure on paper and in practice.

• Developing methods for protecting land from being irregularly acquired and for identifying abandoned, illegally adjudicated, or stolen land, so as to create a reserve of land that can be provided to victims of conflict.

• Accelerating the processing of restitution claims, ensuring that the interests of good-faith secondary occupants are protected, and ensuring that local governments are equipped to comply with restitution rulings.

• Identifying and tackling constraints to efficiently move national-level government funding into rural areas to increase access of rural communities to public goods, services, and markets.

• Identifying and proposing solutions to specific land tenure access problems faced by women and ethnic minorities.

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) 3 • Partnering across government institutions in the design, establishment, and maintenance of land-related knowledge management systems that will allow all public agencies to share information in real time, reducing the time associated with land-related transactions.

• Strengthening coordination among USAID implementing partners in the regions where we work to maximize efficiencies and reduce the duplication of efforts.

We work at the national level and in five focus regions: Cauca, Cesar, Meta, Montes de María, and Tolima.

4 LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) Project Activities

COMPONENT 1: IMPROVED CAPACITY OF THE GOC AT THE REGIONAL AND NATIONAL LEVELS TO RESTITUTE LAND TO VICTIMS OF CONFLICT Ethnic restitution in Cesar and Montes de María. In the quarter, the following USAID- supported cases made advancements within the judicial and administrative phases:

Montes de María – Eladio Ariza. Judges in Cartagena issued precautionary measures on behalf of the Eladio Ariza Afro-Colombian ethnic group, ordering the National Land Agency to formally delimit the community’s territory to prevent further infringements to their territorial rights. In 2014, the Eladio Ariza Community Council, a community of more than 80 Afro-descendant families located on the western fringe of Montes de María, decided to use Colombia’s land restitution process to obtain official recognition of their traditional territory and of the violations to the territorial rights that they suffered during the armed conflict. LRDP assisted the community and the Land Restitution Unit (LRU) with substantiating and preparing their claim, which to date remains the only restitution claim by one of more than 150 officially recognized Afro-Colombian communities in the Caribbean region. The claim consists of recognizing the rights of 84 families to 1,800 hectares of land, the reconstruction of the community’s history, and the implementation of a community integration plan. After several procedural setbacks, the LRU resubmitted the case to restitution judges, where it now awaits a final ruling.

Cesar – Cardonales de Guacoche. The program organized a Community Assembly with the Afro-Colombian Council Cardonales in order to socialize the latest version of the characterization study supported by the program. The community made small adjustments to the report, which outlines the history of dispossession and damage experienced by the community during the conflict. In December, LRDP turned the final report over to the LRU for The restitution case on behalf of the approval prior to sending to the restitution judge. Afro-Colombia community Cardonales in Cesar benefits 187 members. Direct support for restitution cases. We continued to provide direct assistance to the LRU in moving cases through the restitution process, both through case support during the administrative and judicial phases and by securing legal representation for secondary occupants. In total, we supported 919 cases in the quarter. Of these, 160 relate to powers of attorney for secondary occupants.

In partnership with the Colombian Commission of Jurists (CCJ), we directly supported 34 complex restitution cases in Cesar, Sucre, and Meta. By working with the CCJ, the program created a foundation for coordination between the CCJ and the LRU to work together to resolve bottlenecks, like secondary occupants and issues in the post-ruling stage. In addition, because of our coordination, the regional LRU offices will prioritize the cases processed by the CCJ in their delivery of post-ruling orders, especially where orders require investments in agriculture projects.

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) 5 The program is directly supporting 478 cases that are in the post-ruling phase and tethered to a long list of orders. Nearly half of these cases correspond to women.

“USAID’s support has been key for our rapprochement with municipal administrations. We used to be distrustful of the local offices, because leaders in areas of conflict had been supporting one armed actor or the other. And local authorities looked at us with the same distrust. Around 2014, when these spaces were activated at the regional level, the environment improved with USAID’s support and made it easier to gather information. In fact, the USAID program helped make it possible to speak frankly about some situations, which couldn’t be done in other settings. All this is now contained in the Regional Action Plans, which facilitate compliance of restitution rulings and the government’s commitment to victims.”

—Luis Alfonso Ruiz Alegría, LRU Regional Director in Tolima

Legal representation for vulnerable secondary occupants. In the quarter, we helped the Ombudsman’s Office secure 160 powers of attorney for vulnerable secondary occupants, thereby ensuring that these low-income rural residents will have the legal representation they need throughout the restitution process. Ensuring legal representation for vulnerable secondary occupants, who are often themselves victims of the armed conflict, was done through community-level brigades that brought public defenders directly to rural communities.

Resource mobilization to support the post-ruling phase. In order to promote compliance with restitution rulings—and thus victims’ effective enjoyment of their rights—we have been supporting municipal and departmental administrations to respond more quickly and effectively to judges and oversight bodies about their progress in complying with the restitution orders. We are likewise supporting local institutions and the LRU to mobilize transitional justice committees, restitution subcommittees, technical roundtables on land, and other spaces that strengthen interinstitutional coordination in fulfilling restitution orders. LRDP also works with municipal and regional administrations to mobilize critical resources that make compliance possible. In the quarter, regional and local administrations mobilized approximately COP 1,100 million (US$440,000) in the program’s five regions.

USAID has been promoting resource mobilization for restitution, especially in El Carmen de Bolívar. Within its development plan, the Mayor’s Office has a number of components relating to the issue of secondary occupants. This coordination, facilitated by USAID, has enabled us to achieve speed, knowledge, and even improved relations between the LRU and the territorial entity. — Ella Cecilia del Castillo Pérez, Regional Director of the LRU in Bolívar

The institutional strengthening efforts help ensure that (1) public officials assume their responsibilities in the country’s restitution policy; (2) local and regional authorities have more efficient instruments for budgetary and program planning and make restitution rulings part of their

6 LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) territorial development priorities; (3) mayors’ and governors’ offices take leadership of joint strategies to comply with judgments; and (4) the committees, subcommittees, and technical roundtables successfully fulfill the responsibilities laid out for them in the Victims Law.

Land titles for restitution beneficiaries. In November, the director of the Land Restitution Unit (LRU), Ricardo Sabogal, attended a cross-agency event in Chaparral, Tolima, where the ANT and the LRU delivered property titles to six recently restituted families for their farms in neighboring Ataco. Sabogal also announced further agricultural project investments for restituted families in Southern Tolima.

Thanks to our support, the ANT and the LRU established delivery models that allow the ANT to continue prioritizing the titling of properties emerging from complex restitution cases. Under these models, the two agencies elaborated and agreed upon supporting documents needed to continue responding to judges’ orders to title restituted properties. In response, the ANT has prepared the necessary paperwork to issue 57 property titles to restituted families involved in difficult cases such as Chengue and Macayepo in Montes de María, and Ataco in Tolima. In addition, the ANT has moved forward with an additional 164 legal procedures towards resolving property issues of restituted families.

Integrated approach to restitution. Last year, in each region, the program implemented an integrated approach involving all components of the program in order to ensure that victims not only return to their lands but also effectively enjoy better access to public goods, secure land tenure, and economic opportunities for sustainable livelihoods. The program has facilitated the inclusion of restituted families in cacao and coffee private public partnerships, and collaborated with the LRU to bring an IT system online, which allows regional and local public servants to improve compliance monitoring of restitution rulings.

In addition, program efforts to coordinate among local, regional and national government actors have led to major progress in resource mobilization needed to improve 34 kilometers of tertiary road in Ataco, Tolima, connecting over 400 families to the formal economy. In the quarter, government entities are in process of mobilizing COP 2,030 million (US$812,000) towards fulfilling the road rehabilitation order that is part of a collective restitution sentence (Ataco Municipality COP 950 million; Departmental government COP 80 million; INVIAS COP 1,090 million).

Analysis of gender focus in restitution rulings and implementation. Although women are increasingly being included in restitution rulings, it is not clear whether they are actually benefiting from the rights and entitlements afforded to them. To remedy this, the LRU requested our support in analyzing restitution rulings to gauge the presence or absence of a gender focus, as well as the level of implementation of this focus among the GOC entities responsible for fulfilling restitution-related court orders. The tracking system currently used by the LRU collects only the data of the person whose name appears as the owner of the property being claimed for restitution. That means that women who are married are left out of data collection, because the lands that are part of restitution cases are titled to their husbands. For our program, this means that the LRU cannot provide true disaggregated data (See Annex A for further information).

To remedy this, the LRU has recognized the need to improve its information management systems, and would have to mobilize resources and talent to do it. The program is wiling to support these modifications in LRU information systems, and the LRU is putting together a proposal.

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) 7 In the period, we finished the second phase of the analysis, which involves the construction of institutional action plans for compliance with restitution measures directed to women, specifically with regard to their rights to housing and psychosocial health. The right to housing is important for establishing the necessary living conditions that allow families to return to their land, while the right to psychosocial health is key for helping victims overcome fear and trauma caused by the conflict and garner the emotional fortitude to return. We worked with land subcommittees in Cesar and Montes de María, as well as with entities responsible for complying with housing- and health-related orders, like the Victims Unit, Ministry of Housing, and Ministry of Health, to design proposals and action plans for adjusting interinstitutional processes aimed at better complying with court orders from a gender perspective.

We organized a national level event to share the results with a wide range of government partners responsible for implementing restitution orders. A total of twenty participants attended including representatives from the: LRU, ADR, the Victims Unit, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Housing, Ministry of Health, Banco Agrario, Department of Social Prosperity, among others.

In addition, the program published and shared two informational briefers, designed to increase application of a gender focus throughout the process of restitution cases:

• “Gender fFocus and • “I Have the Women’s Rights in Restitution Sentence, Compliance with What Now?” targets Restitution Rulings” women beneficiaries targets public of restitution to servants to enable strengthen their them to apply a understanding of a gender focus in restitution ruling, its their work to integrated parts, and implement how to follow up on restitution rulings. orders.

The program developed both products based on the results of last year’s study analyzing 51 restitution rulings benefitting 110 women. The study examined judge’s orders to assess the inclusion and quality of gender-specific reparations; carried out focus groups with women beneficiaries to examine the delays and barriers they have experienced in accessing the benefits promised in these rulings; and made recommendations for the LRU and other entities aimed at making their implementation efforts more responsive to women.

Finally, the program finished the curriculum titled “Gender focus in the context of institutional coordination” (Módulo de formación en materia de género con espacios de articulación interinstitucional), a tool that targets public servants from entities that participate in the land and transitional justice committees and subcommittees. The LRU received and approved the curriculum, and will publish and promote it this year.

Coordination with USAID Justice for a Sustainable Peace. In the period, the program held a meeting with Access to Justice to talk about the transition to the Justice for a Sustainable Peace. There, LRDP made a small presentation on progress and achievements in the context of the land restitution and where it intersects with judges. In addition, LRDP’s Component 4, in the context of our partnership with the Superior Judicial Council (CSJ as it is known in Spanish), gave a

8 LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) demonstration for JSP directors on how the restitution sentence follow-up system works. From there, the CSJ convoked a larger stakeholder meeting in November, including magistrate judges, where LRDP again presented the progress made in information system development being used by the LRU and other entities, as well as the overall progress made in partnership with the LRU. On USAID’s recommendation, JSP and LRDP will meet in February 2018 to discuss what LRDP tools, products, and methodologies can be of use to JSP.

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) 9 COMPONENT 2: IMPROVED CAPACITY OF REGIONAL AND NATIONAL GOC ENTITIES TO FORMALIZE RURAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND TO ALLOCATE PUBLIC LANDS (BALDÍOS) Launch of massive formalization pilot in Ovejas. The Ovejas pilot represents the first of a series of Government of Colombia mandated multi-purpose cadaster pilots to get off the ground. Perhaps more noteworthy is the fact that the Ovejas pilot merges systematic formalization of land tenure with the collection of information to inform the creation of the multi-purpose cadaster, and has had to conform to a new law governing land titling and rigorous new standards for cadastral updating. It is therefore not surprising that its frontrunner status has been met with numerous challenges.

During the quarter, an initial test of the pilot methodology was completed in the vereda of Ovejitas. In the process, several difficulties were uncovered, the most acute being those associated with the technologies for collecting and processing parcel information and housing of that information in a common database. Specifically, technology deployed for collecting information on parcel boundaries lacked the necessary precisions, and required replacing it with an alternative. The alternative, while supplying the necessary precision, requires the use of the Internet to record parcel boundary information, requiring somebody to process information back in the office (rather than in the field) thereby adding to implementation time. Difficulties were also encountered with synchronizing information captured in the field (via tablets) with the main database.

Moreover, the Landfolio database constructed to accommodate the parcel information collected and enable the generation of titling files, proved unable to support the processing of the excessive quantity of information mandated by Decree 902 and Resolution 740, new legislation governing systematic land formalization. While the decree went into effect in May 2017, the ANT did not finalize the design of procedures for this new approach until end of September 2017. As a result, the field survey was postponed while formats and procedures where adjusted. At present, the decree is still under review by the Constitutional Court, and a small risk exists that the Court could declare the decree unenforceable. In order to offset this risk, the pilot will be applying both Law 160 and Decree 902 in parallel, which is more cumbersome and time consuming. As a stop- gap measure, while new technology solutions were being identified, the program employed an Excel database with macros, which requires one to enter information into the database by hand, resulting in considerable delays. Other implementation delays encountered during the quarter were caused by:

• Cloud cover interference with the processing of cartographic images • Delays in the delivery of IT applications for digitalization of parcel information

• Unanticipated numbers of new claims and receipt of an unexpected amount of new information during the legal diagnostic phase

Delays were also encountered in the arrival of State Department support to step-up non-technical studies for demining. While this did not have an immediate effect on the implementation schedule, it is likely to stall completion of the parcel sweep once it gets underway. Technological failures and slow processing of information prompted the Operation Management Committee to postpone initiation of the roll-out of the parcel sweep and instead embark on a

10 LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) second test in the vereda of Canutalito for purposes of testing alternatives for technology and improving the efficiency of the parcel sweep method. Towards the close of the quarter, partners agreed upon the following proposed solutions:

• Split up topographers and lawyers in conducting parcel visits to maximize efficiencies, and

• Engage Swiss Cooperation to support development of an alternative to Landfolio. The Swiss Cooperation has already delivered the database, and a firm has been contracted to develop the formalization elements of the database.

The pilot will continue to use Trimble Access for collection of parcel data, as we can find no other adequate alternative to Penmap that can process the data in the field. This means that the team must continue to process and synchronize the data in the offices and with a reliable internet connection.

During the quarter, LRDP completed data collection and analysis of the results of a household survey designed to serve as a baseline to evaluate the future impact of massive land formalization in Colombia along several key theoretical dimensions, such as improved investment in land and access to credit. The guidelines for carrying out the eventual follow-on survey and for assessing the impacts using both baseline and follow-on data were also prepared. The baseline survey results and the guidelines were presented to the GOC partners and USAID in November and December.

The best-case scenario for initiating and completing the parcel sweep is January 8 and August 20, respectively, assuming that non-technical studies permit the parcel sweep to enter all veredas in the municipality and no demining has to be carried out. These dates also assume there are no other interferences with the revised chronogram. Under this scenario, we would complete the pilot by September 30, 2018. However, we know we must always be prepared for the unexpected and for the possibility of more delays.

Activities with IGAC. On December 12, USAID signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Agustin Codazzi Geographic Institute (IGAC), outlining the delivery of key land information, including satellite imagery, for the program’s 57 target municipalities. In return, IGAC has committed to partnering with local governments to use the information to improve municipal work plans and land use policies.

In addition, the program formally handed over to IGAC the Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) purchased by the program and located in Ovejas. Managed by the National Geodetic Survey (NGS), the CORS is the most modern station of its kind in Colombia and is anticipated to have a major impact on the country’s topographic survey capabilities well-beyond the Ovejas municipality.

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) 11 Delivery of public property titles in ‘Escuelaton’ events. In our five regions, we are supporting the formalization of 1,230 mostly-rural parcels where public entities currently operate. Titling and registering these public properties allows municipal administrations to mobilize resources from regional and national entities for investment to make improvements in infrastructure as well as the quality of service provision.

In October, LRDP and the National Land Agency delivered 21 rural school titles in Meta. USAID supported the formalization of 18 of these titles in the municipalities of Acacias, El Castillo, Puerto López, Puerto

Miguel Samper and USAID deliver a rural school title to Lleras, Lejanías, Granada, and San Martín, Evelyn Venecia, rector of the Heriberto Garcia Garrido grade benefitting 278 schoolchildren (See Table school, located in Siria, Sucre. 1).

In December, the ANT held another escuelaton event in the Caribbean regions of Sucre and Cesar, delivering school property titles to 20 rural schools, representing more than 2200 students. The program supported the titling of all 20 schools.

In Cauca, the ANT delivered 28 property titles for rural schools located in Santander de Quilichao, Buenos Aires, Guachené, and Suarez municipalities. The program is supporting the titling of all 28 schools.

To date, USAID has supported the issuing of 223 titles for parcels where public entities are housed.

*These titles are still in process, however with the anticipated delivery by the ANT, local administrations can begin resource mobilization and planning. The titles are expected to be finished and registered in following quarter. Municipal land offices and formalization plans. As part of our work to strengthen local administrations’ capacity to take the lead in land formalization efforts, this year we supported the creation of two new municipal land offices and formalization plans, in Santander de Quilichao (Cauca) and Fuentedeoro (Meta).

12 LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) • Ovejas: In the period, the Ovejas land office formalized 128 urban parcels, which are part of municipal social housing programs and are on lands donated by the municipality. First, the office completed a characterization study, including demarcating the boundaries of each lot. The office awarded land titles to 27 families in the neighborhoods Villa Paz and Ciudadela; 49 titles in Sagrado Corazón de Jesús; 41 titles in Pradera; and 11 titles in Oasis.

• Santander de Quilichao: In the period, the land office emitted titles for 6 public properties, including one school, a large parcel for a social housing project, two properties for roadways, among others. The office, in partnership with the municipal secretary of agriculture, also prepared a technical proposal outlining the formalization of 200 parcels that belong to farmers engaged in the plantain, fruits, and cacao value chains. The effort is part of the integrated land and rural development approach, promoted by the program. In the coming period, the land office will present the proposal to the National Land Agency. The office also provided support for ANT and program workers, especially socialization and information for the parties involved with the rural schools being titled, including school administrators and the property neighbors.

• Fuentedeoro: In the period, the program financed five land formalization experts to complete technical cadaster studies for the eventual formalization of 317 urban parcels in the neighborhoods Sumarraga, San Jorge, and Triunfo, all located on municipal land donated for social housing purposes. These investments were made possible earlier this year when the land office was able to title and sort out property issues.

In addition, the land office formalized 18 municipal properties, including public housing land, health posts, parks, the municipality building, the central market, and storage buildings. These titles, as well as 25 private land titles and 10 rural school properties—supported by the program—will be delivered in January at a Municipal Land Office official launch event.

The land experts are working with the Municipal Land Office to formalize 317 properties in Fuentedeoro (Meta). In addition, the Fuentedeoro municipal land office team provided a technical training and formalization workshop for the Puerto López administration. Working together, the municipal land formalization teams formalized 24 municipal properties in Puerto López.

In partnership, the program and Fuentedeoro’s land office met with leaders from adjacent Puerto Lleras to talk about the benefits of massive land formalization and the methodology for formalizing public properties. In December, Fuentedeoro’s land experts held an experience- sharing technical meeting, mirroring the exercise carried out with leaders from Puerto López.

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) 13 A key part of sharing experience and technology is the land surveying equipment, which the program financed and delivered to Fuentedeoro’s land office in the quarter. In addition, the mayor of Fuentedeoro has committed to sharing the equipment with other municipalities in Meta. In January, LRDP and the mayor will officially launch the formalization office with partners and USAID.

“Once municipality leaders understand they too can formalize property, land formalization will see a new future, and local leaders won’t have to rely on the old model of temporarily contracting a lawyer and a topographer to resolve local land issues.”

— Juan Pablo Bernal, asesor jurídico del grupo de formalización de tierras de Fuentedeoro, Meta

Individualization of parcels in Meta. In the period, 21 individual land titles were delivered to families previously under a collective title in Fuentedeoro. There are another 23 claims currently in process using the same legal route.

The program’s land experts also presented to the Court five claims to divide collectively titled parcels in the El Encanto, El Jordán, La Español, Bonanza and Floresta, large parcels located in Fuentedeoro. All five claims were accepted by the judges, who are in the process of responding to the claims. Should all of the claims be approved, 125 individual property titles will be processed. The judicial route is different from the public notary in that, lawyers use alternative conflict resolution mechanisms (known as MASC under its Spanish acronym), which requires neighbors to work together to resolve any disputed claims rather than taking those disputes to the courts. Next quarter, the program plans to celebrate the delivery of titles.

In the period, judges rejected a list of 16 land title claims for the individualization of 20 parcels, which appear to stem from a lack of capacity on the part of local judges in land and property matters. Obstacles of this nature not only set back the process but also take long periods of time to clear up. In this case, judges took six months to make the rejection of these claims. The rejections are being appealed.

The program designed the parcelization methodology—which the National Land Agency will be able to replicate in the future—in order to individualize six collectively owned parcels, representing 161 parcels spanning 1,107 hectares, located in Fuentedeoro, Meta. A total of 25 land titles will be delivered in a Fuentedeoro Land Office official launch event in January.

Formalization of private parcels in Chaparral (Tolima). The National Land Agency delivered 139 land titles in November to landowners living in the municipality of Chaparral. ANT’s Director delivered the LRDP-facilitated titles at an event that also celebrated progress of a coffee private public partnership. At least 97 newly titled families will benefit from the investments being made in a large coffee drying plant, and with secure land tenure, those families will find it easier to access financial services and government subsidies. As part of its support to secure titles, the program collaborated with the USAID Access to Justice program to help families accrue the proper marriage documents to assure both husband and wife are registered as owners on the land titles.

14 LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) Women and land formalization. The municipality of Santander de Quilichao made history in the quarter, passing a decree that guarantees and protects rural land rights for women. The decree—signed by the Mayor on December 1, 2017—outlines how the municipality will adopt gender-focused measures to eradicate discrimination and ensure land rights for women. The new measures ensure that common-law marriages are accepted for joint land ownership, and intend to expand access to credit and technical assistance and training for rural women. In September 2017, LRDP began working with public servants, including the Municipality’s Gender Secretary and lawyer from the Economic and Agriculture Growth Secretary, to analyze the situation of women and property rights in Santander de Quilichao. In conjunction with this team, LRDP then created a decree presentation and proposal for the administration’s legal office, which then supported the signing of the decree. The USAID Governance Program also provided support, ensuring that parts of the decree are included in the reformulation of the municipality’s women and gender policies.

In addition, the program finished a women and land formalization training in partnership with Fuentedeoro’s municipal land office. Regional government officials from the Secretaries of Agriculture and Women as well as public servants from neighboring Puerto Lopez attended.

The training targeted public servants engaged in land administration topics to familiarize them with the laws and regulations governing land rights of couple in common-law marriage and the prioritization of women heads of household to be listed as legal owners of land.

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) 15 COMPONENT 3: IMPROVED CAPACITY OF REGIONAL AND NATIONAL GOVERNMENT ENTITIES TO MOBILIZE AND EXECUTE PUBLIC RESOURCES FOR RURAL PUBLIC GOODS THAT MEET COMMUNITY NEEDS AND MARKET REQUIREMENTS Formation of new PPPs. Over the last three months, the Program finalized the signing of four Private Public Partnerships (PPP) in Cauca: in the plantain value chain, and in the value chain of three cold-climate fruits: lulo, tree tomato, and blackberry. The cumulative value of these partnerships is over COP 2,015 million (US$806,000), of which over 50% comes from the public sector, and they stand to benefit over 175 families.

The largest of the three, the blackberry PPP, is valued at approximately COP 1,233 million (US$493,200) and directly benefits three agriculture production and food processing organizations in Caldono and Toribío, including local juice enterprises Ñxuspa and Fxize, through technical assistance as well as new market channels.

In terms of public sector support to the partnership, the Agency for Territorial Renovation (ART) has committed COP 228 million (US$91,200), and Cauca’s Departmental Government has committed COP 610 million (US$244,00). These investments will be used to improve production and to finance new technologies for the juice and food processing buyers.

The lulo and tree tomato PPPs—a combined valued of more than COP 618 million (US$247,200)—benefit farmers in the Jambaló municipality, where the local administration is committing nearly COP 400 million (US$160,000) to the partnership. Nearly sixty families will directly benefit from the partnership. Cauca-based social welfare fund, Comfandi — which already entered into a purchase agreement with Jambaló producers early on in the partnership formation—is the main sales channel.

The plantain PPP is valued at COP 164 million (US$65,000) and directly benefits 32 families in Miranda municipality. The local administration has committed COP 35 million (US$14,000) while the National Colombian Business Guild (ANDI) has committed COP 39 million (US$15,600) to the partnership. ANDI will provide a strategic business team to work with the farmer association to improve both production and operations. ANDI is also participating in the lulo and tree tomato PPPs. The program worked with USAID-funded Producers to Market Alliance—scheduled to operate until 2022—to ensure sustainability of the partnerships.

With the addition of these new partnerships, our progress to date is now 14 PPPs, surpassing our life-of-project goal of 13 PPPs.

Strengthening of existing PPPs. We continue to follow up and strengthen established PPPs. Technical oversight and institutional coordination ensure that commitments are being fulfilled and that the mechanisms established to make PPPs sustainable are robust and institutionalized.

• Coffee in Tolima: Colombia’s Minister of Agriculture, surrounded by the heads of three government agencies overseeing land and rural development, laid the cornerstone of a regional coffee-drying plant in Chaparral. The drying plant is the major outcome of a PPP that will benefit more than 24,000 coffee farmers in Southern Tolima. We played a critical role as facilitator of this PPP, using our rapport with government entities, like the Rural Development Agency, to get government buy-in. The ADR invested COP2,000 million (US$800,000), which proved to be the catalyst needed to put the investment in motion.

16 LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) At the event, the National Land Agency delivered registered property titles to 139 families in Chaparral, including 97 families that directly benefit from the coffee PPP. Slated for completion in 2018, the plant will be able to dry 6,000 tons of coffee annually. Cafisur is investing COP 18,000 million (US$7.2mn) to establish the plant.

“This process of government coordination is an example for the whole country, where several entities unite to achieve progress and advance a project like the drying plant. Colombia’s rural zones are all waiting and hoping for the same type of intervention.”

— Juan Guillermo Zuluaga, Colombia’s Minister of Agriculture

Ñame and cassava in Montes de María: After three months of agricultural training, 60 students, including 25 women, graduated from the ñame and cassava Farmer Field Schools. The graduates represent the next generation of farmers in Montes de María, and they have begun to train another 337 people in their communities. The training develops the students’ skills in both the production and the marketing side of farming. Students created strategic business plans, technical management plans, and environmental management plans.

In the quarter, 14 ñame farmer associations (400 farmers) participated in a business roundtable sponsored by the Sucre Departmental Government. At the event, the producers networked with three private partners, C.I. Tropicol, Cervicecol, and Bodegas El Carmen, to close deals for the next harvest of 600+ hectares of ñame. Buyers expect to purchase approximately 1,700 metric tons of ñame.

Finally, with LRDP’s support, the Bolívar Departmental Government in collaboration with the ñame farmer associations and non-profit Corporación PBA launched the country’s first Federation of Ñame Producers. The Federation will automatically become a partner within the PPP, lead the technical roundtable, and act as an umbrella organization for at least 60 ñame farmer associations in Bolívar and Sucre.

• Cacao in Montes de María: In November, PPP participants elected the Red Cacaotera as the Technical Secretary to participate in the Montes de María Network of Cacao Producers. The designation of a technical secretary is part of the program’s sustainability plan to assure that participants, local government officials, and private partners continue making group decisions that benefit all parties. “Cacao producers used to deliver their products individually without much planning, but today they are delivering them as cooperatives, in an organized manner. And for them this is a benefit too. They receive their payment by wire transfer in their bank accounts. The other thing is that the organizations that have good procurement dynamics receive an advance credit from the Company to use in the purchasing of cocoa from their members.”

— Alexander Jaimes, cacao project analyst at the National Chocolate Company

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) 17 • Cacao in Tolima: Upon the successful completion of the program for multiplicadores (farmers who are trainers), 150 farmers from six municipalities in Tolima celebrated their graduation in Chaparral. The trainers increased their skills and knowledge in farmer field schools housed on demonstration parcels and run by the entities involved in the technical roundtable (Corpoica, the Colombian Agricultural Institute, Fedecacao, SENA, and Fundación ANDI in collaboration with the USAID program Alliances for Reconciliation).

Cacao farmers in San Antonio, Southern Tolima, learn low-cost irrigation techniques in farmer field schools.

In addition to the training of trainers, 54 cacao farms have advanced towards achieving ICA- certification in Good Agriculture Practices. Corpoica also progressed with its seed program and created two clone nurseries with Asocat and Aprocasur producer associations. Six demo- plots in Southern Tolima received and finished installation of the technological package from Fedecacao, which includes irrigation kits as well as infrastructure for post-harvest. In November, PPP participants elected Fedecacao to replace LRDP as the PPP Technical Secretary to carry the partnership forward. • Milk in Meta: The Orinoquía Study Center joined the PPP, and has committed COP 27 million to work with Corpoica and The Nature Conservancy to deliver Sustainable Agribusiness Model training to the PPP participants. In addition, Corpoica selected two farms for its strategy “Productores Innovadores Locales”, known as PILOS, which strives to promote innovation and new technologies in agriculture production and processing. • PPPs in Cesar: In the context of the Cesar Siembra campaign to improve agriculture production and marketing in the region, the Ministry of Agriculture approved eight key investments for the departmental government of Cesar, which will benefit over 400 families. Four of these investments are directly related to and expected to strengthen the Specialty Coffee PPP in Pueblo Bello municipality. One investment is in the lulo value chain in the municipality of Agustín Codazzi; and three investments were approved for cacao production in Valledupar, Agustín Codazzi and Pueblo Bello municipalities. Investments range from COP1.000 million to 3.000 million (US$1.2mn), and the total investment is valued at COP10.400 million (US$4.16mn). In addition, PPP actors have begun the work to improve the sugar cane mill located in the vereda Siete de Agosto in Agustín Codazzi. The work is already in its second phase, and cane farmers, hand-in-hand with the regional government, are fine-tuning the infrastructure to meet the standards set by Colombia’s food and drug monitoring body, Invima, for Colombian consumers. Land Use Management Plans and Tools. The Cesar Departmental Government received and approved a Land Market study, titled “Tierra, Conflicto, y Mercado” (“Land, Conflict and Markets”), prepared by the program and deliver in 2016. The study shows data and demonstrates how the armed conflict affected the land market in El Copey, La Jagua, and San

18 LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) Alberto municipalities in Cesar. Some of the key findings show that, in addition to the violence, the rise of Cesar’s mining industry and largescale agroindustry also influenced the market. “One of the phenomenon that most affects supply and demand in the critical periods of the local conflict in Cesar was the massive purchasing of land by large companies form the agro-industrial or infrastructure sectors. These companies use a complex network of ownership, from private to consortiums, to separately acquire parcels that were part of agriculture reform movements in several municipalities.” In December, we made the final presentation of the Department-wide Rural Land Use Management Plan, giving land planners and administrators an important tool to improve agriculture investments and rural development. Land use planning is essential for achieving the complementary aims of providing environmental, economic, and social opportunities for communities, while maintaining and enhancing land quality. We have been supporting the development of these land use plans (known as planes de ordenamiento social y productivo de la propiedad rural in Spanish) at the departmental level in partnership with the Rural Agricultural Planning Unit (UPRA) in Cesar, Meta, and Tolima. Irrigation districts in Cesar and Montes de María. Montes de María: In the quarter, the program made progress with the characterization of 74 families, including identifying the GPS location of their farms, in relation to four small-scale irrigation districts, which will be rehabilitated, located in the municipalities of El Carmen de Bolívar and Zambrano. In addition, manuals for operation and maintenance of the irrigation infrastructure were socialized with the members of each district. In the meantime, the studies and designs for the rehabilitation of the four irrigation districts and the construction of two new ones, in the municipalities of Ovejas, El Carmen de Bolívar, Colosó, Chalán, and Zambrano is underway. Together, these irrigation districts stand to benefit more than 350 farming families. The program has completed the studies and designs for 9 small scale irrigation districts in Montes de María, which are set to directly benefit more than 200 families, farming in the vegetable, ñame, and cacao value chains, among others. The studies and designs will be handed over to the Departmental Government and the Rural Development Agency in the following quarter. Cesar: The Rural Development Agency approved the funds for and began preparations to rehabilitate the Torcoroma small scale irrigation district, located in La Gloria municipality. There are eight families who will directly benefit from the irrigation system. After five irrigation districts were completed last year, the program delivered the studies and designs for an additional eight districts in Cesar, which will benefit 409 families and irrigate 521 hectares in the municipalities of Valledupar, Pueblo Bello, Agustín Cozazzi, La Paz, Curumaní, Chiriguaná, La Gloria, and Tamalameque. With this support, Cesar will have realized the successful rehabilitation of 100% of its small-scale districts that depend on public funding. Tertiary roads. To help ensure that rural residents have more and better access to markets, public services, and other development opportunities, we are supporting inventories, studies, and designs for tertiary roads that connect small rural communities to municipal centers. In the quarter, the program delivered tertiary roads inventories to La Paz, El Copey, and La Jagua municipalities. These inventories are the first step and essential for mobilizing the resources are the national and departmental levels needed to repair these roads. La Paz is still slated to be included in the ART’s 51x50 roads plan, which is expected to mobilize COP 1,000 million (US$400,000), and for which the tertiary road inventory will play a critical role.

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) 19 Last period, the program reported an estimated at COP 847 million (US$338,800) mobilized as part of the 50x51 initiative for roads in Planadas, Tolima. However, following the publication of the report, we have amended that number to COP 881,529,057 (US$352,611).

Secretariat of Agricultural Development in El Copey (Cesar). The importance of agriculture in El Copey calls for the creation of a permanent entity within the mayor’s office that coordinates public policies on rural development and land and that allocates resources for productive projects and public goods. Without such a leader, it is difficult to coordinate interinstitutional actions within the rural sector, ensure compliance with restitution rulings, and position institutions in the process of formalizing rural properties, among other things. In the quarter, we finished the Secretary of Agricultural Development’s Procedures Manual and delivered it to the administration. The manual will give the mayor and team a roadmap to the newly created secretary’s work plan. Barring the political hiccups between the mayoral administration and the departmental government, the proposal will move forward in 2018. Victims characterization study delivered to Zambrano (Bolívar) municipality. The study covers 2,418 households, where 7,737 victims from the armed conflict are currently living. LRDP supported the study, which included capacity building for public servants of the Zambrano municipal administration to improve the formulation and presentation of proposals needed to mobilize resources and investments. With this information, the municipal administration plans to mobilize COP15,000 million that will be invested in agriculture investments and rural development, such as housing, employment, education, health, and roads.

“With this characterization study, we will start a new phase, we will seek out the possibility of providing reparations for all these victims either individually or collectively. At the same time, we have begun working with USAID on coordinating support in the formulation of agricultural projects and investments. With these skills, we can begin to seek the resources necessary to service the victims.”

— Alberto Murillo Palmera, mayor of Zambrano Municipality

Resources mobilized. We successfully mobilized COP 29,272,458,817 (US$11,708,983) in the period, bringing the program total to approximately COP197,000 million (US$78,800,000), representing 114% of our Life of Project target. The table below provides a regional breakdown of this progress.

Women in rural development. In the period, the program made efforts to compile information about the participation of women in the PPPs facilitated by the program that shows that women are currently under-represented. We designed a series of products linked to the role of rural women in the facilitation of PPPs designed to increase the participation of women. The following products will help the program engage key stakeholders charged with providing long-term support in gender-focused programming:

• “Women in Rural Development Programming” (Las mujeres como parte de los programas de desarrollo rural), targets local and regional secretaries of rural development to incorporate gender-focused programming into the delivery of PPPs. • “Family & Agriculture” (Agricultura Familiar) targets PPP stakeholders with strategic information about recognizing the role of women and youth in agriculture and rural development.

MOBILE SCHOOL FOR WOMEN IN CAUCA

In the quarter, the Escuela Itinerante saw its second round of empowered rural women graduate from its ranks. This time, 240 women— from Caldono, Miranda, Villa Rica, Buenos Aires, Padilla, Guachené, Puerto Tejada, and Toribio municipalities— celebrated the achievement in Santander de Quilichao. USAID supports the implementation of the Escuela Itinerante in partnership with the Secretary of Gender and Cauca’s regional government. The school empowers women to act as leaders of development through the formation of associations and local businesses in accordance with their culture, ethnicity, and local environment. In particular, LRDP supported the lectures and workshops on land restitution, formalization, and rural development with a gender focus. “Women are just as capable as any man to empower “The school is an important part of my personal and intellectual ourselves in the spaces that we have for so long been growth and gave us the necessary tools to prove we are excluded from. Now is the moment for women to change the successful, brave, humble and thankful women. Thanks to these stigma that we have suffered for years and to begin to believe tools, in leadership and economic empowerment, we can in ourselves, because yes, it is possible.” improve our quality of life and our families.” -Erika Mosquera Saa, Miranda -Criss Dayan Mora, Padilla

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) 21 COMPONENT 4: IMPROVED INFORMATION AVAILABLE AND EFFICIENTLY USED TO DELIVER LAND RIGHTS SERVICES Land Node progress. Since launching the Land Node, a digital platform that allows the country’s main land agencies to access and share restitution-related information in real time, 32 different types of information (each type of information is referred to as a service) are up and running, representing 76 percent of the targeted total. In the period, a service that allows partners to obtain payments from humanitarian organizations, supporting restitution objectives, was brought online. By February 2018, we expect the Land Node to include a total of 42 services. (See Annex F for further information)

The Land Node continues to represent a landmark achievement in terms of making the country’s restitution process exponentially more efficient. The services that are the most crucial for advancing land restitution (such as property registration files and cadastral certificates) are already up and running. While the overall reduction in processing time will not be as great as originally expected, it will still be an unprecedented achievement for the Colombian government. Digitization and organization of SNR’s property registration files.

Last year, the program commenced one its most ambitious activities, which is the digitization of property registration files housed by the SNR. The activity seeks to organize, digitize, index, and systematize approximately two million files from 17 public registry offices in Cauca, Cesar, Bolívar, Sucre, Meta, and Tolima, as well as the SNR’s delegated land office in Bogota—whose files cover 217 municipalities in Colombia.

By the end of the period, the program has digitized and indexed over 1.7 million files, representing 86% of the life of project goal. (See Figure 1)

The program has finished the digitization of the files from the following 16 public registry offices: Cartagena, Sincelejo, Corozal, Popayán, Chimichagua, Ibagué, Purificación, Chaparral, Acacias, Aguachica, Simiti, El Guamo, Puerto Tejada, Caloto, Silvia, and Santander de Quilichao. Following the digitization process, the land files have been delivered to the SNR storehouse, By digitizing Colombia’s property registration files, LRDP is contributing to located in Funza, just outside of Bogotá. more secure land tenure. During the period, the program also added eight new public registry offices and over 329,000 land files to the digitization activity. The new offices include: Convención, Segovia, Caucasia, Ituango, Amalfi, Yarumal, Puerto Asis, Florencia (Antioquia, Caquetá, Norte de Santander, and Putumayo). These regional offices are prioritized as post-conflict and were selected in collaboration with the SNR. In the quarter, the program transferred all of the land files to Bogota for digitization to begin.

Digitization for IGAC. Last year, we began digitizing 2.7 million cadastral files for IGAC. In addition to supporting faster restitution and formalization processes, this information will serve as a key input to help the GOC comply with the first point of the peace accords through the provision of secure land tenure to rural citizens. These 2.7 million files—which comprise the cadastral information for 257 municipalities in Colombia—are being digitized in IGAC’s regional offices and in regional warehouses identified by IGAC, which requires close coordination with the entity’s national headquarters. The digitization activity includes three key components: 1) Scoring: This initial step consists of cross-referencing the cadastral files in each municipality. The program continues to score files in the regional offices. To date, the program has scored approximately 1.8 million files, representing 66% of the life of project. In terms regional offices, the program has scored the files of 217 of 237 municipal offices. Files in Popayan, San Martin, Valledupar, Arauca, Yopal, Ibagué, and Cartagena are still to be scored. 2) Organization: Classification, filtering, ordering in chronological order, cleaning damaged files, numbering, and inventorying. The program continues to organize the files. To date, the program has organized 350,755 files, representing 64% of the life of project objective. In terms of municipalities, the program has organized the files of 104 offices, or 44% of the total number of offices. Because this step of the process is experiencing delays, the program worked to pinpoint a series of obstacles and prescribe corresponding mitigation measures. These are:

OBSTACLES RECOMMENDED MEASURES TO ADDRESS PROBLEM

Insufficient work force Double personnel; coordinate the work force in partnership with IGAC.

Create a technical team to strengthen monitoring and institute a system for alerts Weak monitoring of work flow and identification of problems.

Underperformance in implementation Increase training of both new employees and IGAC workers.

3) Digital inventory: Data input according to location, file number, etc.2

In November, we initiated the inventory process of the files of the 78 offices that had completed the organization step. Of the total, 32 municipal offices were inventoried in the period. IGAC— which then approves the overall—has approved the process for only 16 offices due to errors

1 Under “Transport,” the number is lower than the subsequent step, because the decision was made to do some digitization locally to quell anxieties of local communities about moving the records to Bogota before the digitization exercise was complete. 2 It is important to note that although this activity is distinct from our SNR digitization activity in that it does not involve the scanning of files, it still constitutes “digitization” according to LRDP’s Activity Monitoring and Evaluation Plan, which defines digitization as “the conversion from analog to digital format, either by recording the referential data (metadata) to locate and find a file and/or capturing the file by query, photo-scanning, OCR-scanning, photo-pdf, etc.”

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) 23 found in the files. The program has recognized the errors and created the mitigation plan presented above. We expect to receive approval for the other 16 offices in the following quarter. Many of the errors have to do with poor management of the files and boxes, errors in data input, and incomplete files. We will continue the process for the remaining offices, with the expectation of completing the activity by April 2018. Information systems. In the quarter, we completed five electronic information systems—both national and regional—that are now being used by relevant GOC entities, and made significant progress on an additional four regional information systems. Many of these systems are achieving a critical reduction in processing times for the government’s land-related efforts, while others are providing much-needed document organization within particular entities. Below are the information systems that were completed and launched in the period: • Land information and restitution ruling follow-up system (SNR): Designed to allow the SNR to better track, monitor, and respond to land restitution orders, at the national and local level. • Orfeo system for the Rural Development Agency (ADR): Information management and archival system for all documents and files within the agency. Much like the information system we delivered last year to the ANT, ADR’s Orfeo system replaces the former INCODER system. • Planning and management system (LRU): This tool allows the LRU to systematize all strategic planning and monitoring and evaluation. This system produces reports on the LRU’s indicators, key information for making decisions within the unit. • Integrated land system (ANT): This integrated land information system manages all land data related to the agency. LRDP designed the system and the ANT is currently in the process of developing it with the program’s technical guidance. The system, which stores information on the country’s baldíos, the National Land Fund, and land formalization data, among other, went online and was presented to the Director of the ANT in the period, and progress of the system will continue under review in the coming quarter. All land information from the Ovejas Formalization Pilot, as well as the other pilots, will be stored in this IT system. • Agriculture Statistics (Cesar): One of a three-part information system to manage and organize regional rural development information. The entire system will be completed in the following quarter and presented to the Secretary of Agriculture in Cesar’s regional government. LRDP has supported the input of Cesar’s available historical data, and the Secretary of Agriculture will provide manpower to continue uploading current data. In addition, the technical offices of the Department are responsible for managing and maintaining the systems. In addition, the program made headway on one national information system and four regional information systems. Below are the systems, the corresponding government entity that will be using it, and the levels of completeness. These systems are expected to be finished in the next quarter. • Restitution Ruling Follow-Up (Superior Judicial Council): 60%

STAFFING Due to an unexpected and urgent family development, LRDP´s Chief of Party demobilized from Colombia and returned to the United States in late November. As a result of these changes, LRDP closely evaluated the expected needs of Program given the current pipeline of activities and program closeout to develop a transition plan that will guarantee ample programmatic support. Ms. Adriana Velez, previously the Program´s Technical DCOP, was promoted and will lead the program though closeout.

Throughout this quarter, LRDP’s number of staff reached a total of 83 with and 47 short term technical assistance directly related to activity implementation.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE In the period, we began working on the five deliverables derived from the approved environmental review and which address the measures proposed to mitigate the potential impacts identified:

1. Environmental recommendations for the land restitution process; 2. Environmental recommendations to implement massive land formalization processes; 3. Environmental recommendations to grant titles for public lands;

4. Environmental recommendations to develop Rural Land Use Management Plans; and 5. A guide on good environmental practices for agricultural and livestock projects.

During the quarter, the program prepared and submitted the first deliverable: “Environmental Recommendations for the Restitution Process,” to the LRU and USAID in October, and it was approved in November.

We also began preparation of the other four deliverables. In December, we drafted and presented Deliverable 5: “Environmental Guide to Prepare Social and Productive Territorial Plans for Rural Properties” to USAID and the Rural and Agricultural Planning Unit.

In the period, we continued to carry out environmental monitoring field visits. A visit to Meta focused on plantain value chain activities currently being implemented in several municipalities.

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) 27

Annex A: Project Specific Performance Indicators

INTRODUCTION LRDP conducts monitoring and evaluation on the program's activities utilizing indicators established in the LRDP Activity Monitoring and Evaluation Plan (AMEP). During the quarter, the AMEP was revised based on recommendations to adjust some of the FY2018 and life of project (LOP) targets and to form clearer links to USAID standard indicators where possible. These changes were approved by USAID.

Close follow-up by LRDP technical staff on program interventions to ensure achievement of the expected results has proven highly effective, enabling the fulfillment and surpassing of targets for several LRDP indicators. Especially strong results emerged for LRDP support to land restitution cases, milestones reached in the formalization process, public-private partnerships (PPPs) formed, resources mobilized, number of projects receiving funding, households benefitting from access to public goods, and digitization of files of land entities. While notable progress was made in the generation of land titles as a result of LRDP support, restrictions on formalization of parcels and protracted institutional performance continue to make progress on this indicator a major challenge. The following figure summarizes quarterly results by region:

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) V

ANALYSIS OF INDICATOR PERFORMANCE

PO1: PERCENTAGE OF RESTITUTION AND FORMALIZATION BENEFICIARIES THAT ARE WOMEN (CUSTOM) Out of the total number of beneficiaries from the formalization and restitution components, this crosscutting indicator measures the percentage of female beneficiaries across both the formalization and restitution components. “Beneficiaries” include women receiving assistance through GOC programs or services related to formalization and restitution processes. Services include, but are not limited to – validating restitution claims by the LRU or for obtaining land titles or other documents that assign, recognize or record property rights to land. Custom indicator PO1 contributes directly to standard indicator GNDR-2.

In the period, the program obtained information about women beneficiaries in land formalization and restitution processes, both those who are title owners as well as those who are married. In land restitution, the LRU provided data showing 8,071 women beneficiaries of a total of 18,281 restitution cases with rulings (up to November 2017). This data, showing that women are present in at least 44% of restitution cases, is positive news for LRPD and its goals to see women beneficiaries in at least 50% of land formalization and restitution cases.

By contrast, the National Land Agency—between September and November 2017—issued a total of 105 titles, 24 of which were granted to women, 37 to men, and 44 to female-male couples, resulting in 65% of titles benefiting women either as individual or joint titleholders.

With respect to titles directly supported by the program, during the quarter, 78% were issued to women either as individuals or joint titleholders, i.e., 92 out of a total of 118 titles. Cumulatively the percentage of women beneficiaries is 69% with 281 of 405 LRDP-facilitated titles benefiting women. As can be seen by the rising trend in the proportion of female beneficiaries of formalization, the program has invested considerable efforts to ensure women are targeted in titling endeavors and are included on titles with their spouses in the case of married or consensual union couples.

PO2: NUMBER OF RESTITUTION CASES SUPPORTED BY LRDP THAT BENEFIT FAMILIES BELONGING TO ETHNIC GROUPS (CUSTOM) This indicator measures the number of restitution cases characterized by the Land Restitution Unit with LRDP support that benefit families belonging to ethnic groups for collective restitution of ethnic territories. However, a case only counts when the characterization study is officially adopted by the LRU through an administrative act. Thus far, and despite several efforts by LRDP staff and USAID to accelerate the process, to date, only one case has been officially entered into LRU’s registry. The following cases are currently being supported by USAID: 1) Eladio Ariza, Afro-Colombian Community, Bolívar, Caribbean Region, 84 families, 1,800 hectares, Submitted to judges 2) Yukpa Indigenous Community, Cesar, Caribbean Region, 120 families, 964 hectares, Submitted to judges. 3) Los Cardenales Afro-Colombian Community, Cesar, Caribbean Region, 255 families, 1,513 hectares, Characterization in process.

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) VII 4) Sikuani Indigenous Community, Meta, Eastern Colombia, 2636 people, 92,000 hectares, Submitted to LRU.

PO3: VALUE OF MOBILIZED FUNDS TO RESTITUTION, FORMALIZATION OR RURAL DEVELOPMENT AS A RESULT OF LRDP SUPPORT IN THE TARGETED REGIONS (CUSTOM) Mobilized Funds include all resources (in COP) that, as a result of LRDP support, are obligated by public or private third-parties for restitution, formalization or rural development. LRDP interventions that trigger resource mobilization include technical assistance (e.g., development or institutional planning, structuring interinstitutional agreements, administrative restructuring, project management), training, assessments, and information or database interventions aimed specifically at mobilization, among other interventions. Custom indicator PO3 contributes directly to standard indicator Ym.

In the last modification to the AMEP, LRDP proposed increasing both the indicator’s FY2018 target from COP $18,711,100,500 to COP $24,594,513,183; and its life-of-project (LOP) target from COP $167,394,555,612 to COP $173,277,968,2950. These changes were approved.

In the quarter, it has been possible to mobilize a total of COP $29,272,458,817, which corresponds to 119% of the Program’s target for this period, achieving a total mobilization of COP $197,802,168,567. This result exceeds LRDP’s LOP target by 14.15%. Table 2 shows the resources mobilized by region and type of contributions over the past year.

The resources mobilized mainly derive from LRDP support for the inclusion of land and development lines in the different planning mechanisms, such as development plans and regional action plans. In addition, the program supports the formulation of projects and collaborates with governments to secure funding to implement them. LRDP likewise facilitates the creation of public-private partnerships that improve rural farmers’ access to markets, and the program works to ensure commitments spelled out in the partnership agreements are fulfilled and technical assistance to improve productive practices is provided.

As shown in the figure above, resources were mobilized in all regions of the program in the period. In Cesar, which accounts for 27% of the resources mobilized, the results reflect the

VIII LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) support provided to Departmental and Local Government entities to design projects and include land and rural development priorities in the Departmental Development Plans and the Territorial Action Plans (PATs) as well as technical assistance to rehabilitate small-scale irrigation districts. In Montes de María, where 24% of total resources were mobilized, interventions included investments in strategic value chains, improvements in social infrastructure such as access to potable water for rural residents.

% of total 85.9% 0.7% 4.4% 8.9%

As seen in the above table, 86.6% of the resources mobilized come from public contributions in cash and in kind, which demonstrates robust coordination and commitment by regional authorities to promote and implement strategies, plans, and projects supported by LRDP. Although the percentage of resources mobilized from private sources is only 13.3%, these funds are key to PPP strengthening. The program will continue to conduct follow-up work to ensure that the initiatives it has supported secure funds and implement commitments.

PO3B: VALUE OF USAID INVESTMENTS LINKED TO MOBILIZED FUNDS USAID investments linked to mobilized funds are the resources used by LRDP for direct interventions for the specific purpose of mobilizing funds from third parties. To be counted, LRDP resources must not only be obligated, but already executed. Custom indicator PO3b contributes directly to standard indicator Xm.

Because performance in funds mobilization (indicator PO3) exceeded expectations and was adjusted upward during the quarter, it was likewise deemed appropriate to augment the target for PO3b. LRDP proposed increasing the indicator’s FY2018 and LOP targets to $3,369,356,137 (from $0) and $7,716,667,466 (from $4,347,311,329) respectively. These changes were approved by USAID The program’s investments are presented in the following table:

X LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) PO4. NUMBER OF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, TRADITIONAL AUTHORITIES, OR INDIVIDUALS TRAINED IN RESTITUTION, FORMALIZATION, PUBLIC PROJECT PLANNING, INFORMATION SHARING AND MANAGEMENT AS A RESULT OF LRDP ASSISTANCE (CUSTOM) This indicator tracks the number of people trained in any LRDP-supported training activity.

Support could include provision of funds to pay trainers, providing hosting facilities, or other key contributions necessary to ensure training delivery. Custom indicator PO4 contributes directly to standard indicator EG.3-1 and contributes to the STARR indicator for training through a disaggregation. Indicator PO4 tracks the number of government officials, traditional authorities or individuals trained in restitution, formalization, public project planning, and information sharing and management as a result of LRDP assistance. Since the STARR indicator only measures the number of individuals trained in land tenure and property rights, the custom indicator´s contribution to the standard indicator is limited to the number of individuals trained in land restitution and formalization related topics.

In the last modification to the AMEP, LRDP proposed increasing the indicator’s FY2018 and LOP targets to 17,010 people (from 5,300) and 40,000 people (from 28,290), respectively. These changes were approved by USAID.

In the first quarter of FY2018, 279 training and information events were conducted, benefiting 8,560 people. This is the highest quarterly result recorded during the life of the program, as shown in the following graph.

FIGURE 2 – QUARTERLY PROGRESS OF INDICATOR PO4

With the ramping up of the program’s technical activity implementation during the last two years, progress in indicator PO4 has followed suit in each of the target regions. Whereas at the end of 2015 barely 5,962 people had been trained; by the close of 2016, 14,018 were trained. Then,19,900 were trained in 2017 and 8,560 received training in just the first quarter of 2018.

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) XI Thus, a total of 48,440 people have been reached since program inception, surpassing the goal established for this new indicator by 21%.

Moreover, a total of 19,900 women participated in trainings and information dissemination sessions, representing 41% of the total beneficiaries.

The following figure outlines the cumulative progress of the indicator, by gender and cumulative total.

LRDP-supported training and information dissemination endeavors focused mainly on issues of land restitution, formalization of property, and rural development. Some 52% of training was related to rural development, including the training provided to small and medium-sized producers associated with LRDP-facilitated PPPs for the purpose of improving and strengthening production and marketing of their crops and products. A total of 40% of training was aimed at increasing skills in land tenure and property rights.

O1.1 NUMBER OF RESTITUTION CASES PROCESSED BY THE LRU (CUSTOM) AND O1.2 PERCENTAGE INCREASE IN THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF RESTITUTION CASES PROCESSED MONTHLY BY THE LRU (CUSTOM) The indicator O1.1 measures the number of restitution cases processed by the LRU that have obtained a substantive administrative decision (whether or not included in the Registry for Forcibly Seized and Abandoned Lands). This indicator tracks progress achieved toward USAID/Colombia indicator DO1-041 (Number of restitution cases supported) that monitors the outcome of collective efforts by the GOC, LRDP and other USAID implementers in supporting land restitution. LRDP works primarily to support the LRU to more efficiently and effectively carry out its mandated functions to restitute to victims land and livelihoods they lost during the armed conflict. Custom indicator O1.1 contributes directly to standard indicator DO1-041.

In the period, the LRU processed 4,761 land restitution cases (data corresponds to September, October, and November of 2017). Of those, 1,080 cases were included and 3,118 were not. The GOC has surpassed its goal of 50,000 cases processed, reaching 58,324 cases processed (including the baseline of 14,848 cases).

O1.2 PERCENTAGE INCREASE IN THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF RESTITUTION CASES PROCESSED MONTHLY BY THE LRU (CUSTOM) For the purposes of this indicator “cases” include those being handled by the LRU that have obtained a “substantive administrative decision.” The decision can be to reject or include the case in Registry for Forcibly Seized and Abandoned Lands. In those instances where the investigation did not start (e.g. when applications are received in areas that are not microfocalized – meaning those areas not yet deemed safe for restitution to take place or when the claimant does not qualify as a restitution beneficiary) or when the claimant withdraws the claim based on his/her own initiative.

As show in indicator O1.1, the LRU processed 4,761 cases in the period. This means the LRU processed approximately 1,587 cases per month, signaling an increase of 160% over the baseline figure of 611 cases.

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) XIII 1.1.1 NUMBER OF RESTITUTION CASES SUPPORTED BY LRDP (CUSTOM) Under this indicator, LRDP will count cases supported under the administrative, judicial and post- sentencing phases of restitution. LRDP will maintain case specific records to facilitate monitoring and evaluation of each stage or phase where support is provided. A single case can be counted up to three times if LRDP support is provided during each one of the three phases. Custom indicator 1.1.1 contributes to standard indicator EG.3-1 through a disaggregation. Indicator 1.1.1 tracks the number of restitution cases supported by LRDP, whereas EG.3-1 counts households. Since there are cases that may include more than one family (household), the custom indicator’s contribution to the standard indicator will result from disaggregating the number of families included in each case supported by LRDP.

During the first quarter of FY 2018, LRDP provided support to 919 cases, out of which 759 are restitution cases in the different stages of the process, and 160 correspond to vulnerable second occupants represented by the Ombudsman’s Office. Of the 919 cases, 537 were in the administrative phase, 138 in the judicial phase, and 244 in the post-ruling stage of the restitution process.

Considering both classes of support, the program has thus far contributed to 4,324 cases, thereby bringing the LRU closer to fulfilling its restitution mandate within the limited legislative window available. Despite having recently increased its LOP target from 2,151 to 3,651 cases, LRDP has already exceeded this new goal by 118.4%. LRDP has invested considerable effort to engage women in the restitution process as a measure to facilitate women’s equitable control over land resources. Out of 3,613 total restitution cases, 1,877 – or 51.9% -- involve women as restitution claimants whether as heads of household or as part of a couple. Likewise, out of 711 second occupants represented, 258 are women, i.e., 36.2%.

O2.1 NUMBER OF TITLES ISSUED SUPPORTED BY LRDP (LEGAL CERTAINTY) (CUSTOM) A “title” refers to a legal instrument, issued by an administrative authority or via a judicial decision that recognizes a person’s rights over a property. In Colombia, one or the other is required to issue a title. This indicator tracks progress of USAID/Colombia´s direct efforts through LRDP to support the GOC in implementing land formalization and thereby strengthening land tenure security for rural communities.

This indicator contributes to the following standard indicators: dO1-040 Number of formalized properties supported in CSDI municipalities; EG.3-1 Number of households benefiting directly from USG assistance under LRDP; and EG.3.1-13 Number of households who have obtained documented property rights as a result of USG assistance. The program added this indicator during year 4 in order to capture the specific progress being made by LRDP in contributing to national and regional formalization goals.

The first quarter of FY2018 witnessed the titling of 151 properties thanks to direct LRDP support, representing 6% of the target set for the year. This fed into a cumulative total of 628 formalized properties for the total program implementation period, equivalent to 15% of the LOP target. The figure below shows a 38% reduction in the number of titles issued with LRDP support compared to the last quarter of 2017, when several titles were issued in conjunction with the formal handover of the municipal land office in Santander de Quilichao, Cauca. Issuance of titles supported by LRDP has tended to fluctuate from period to period, depending on particular situations and institutional responsiveness in the different regions, rather than on variations in the efforts made by the LRDP.

Of the 628 titles issued to date, 78% of the formalized properties are private and the remaining 22% are public properties. This distribution is nearly identical to that recorded for this quarter. As shown in the figure below, for this period, the largest share of LRDP-supported titles, i.e. 54%, were issued in Montes de Maria, specifically in the department of Sucre as a result of initiatives undertaken through the Municipal Land Office in the municipality of Ovejas. Meta contributed to 24% of the titles issued with eight of the 36 titles delivered to landholders in the municipality of Fuentedeoro. Cauca’s 15% share is also worth highlighting, being associated with the delivery of 22 titles for land housing public services and infrastructure. The 11 titles issued in Tolima correspond to the titling of 10 private rural plots located in Chaparral and one for a school in Rioblanco.

Out of 405 titles issued in favor of natural persons or families, 281 titles (69%) have been granted to women as individuals or who are part of a couple. For this first quarter of 2018, 78% of the titles have been in favor of natural persons or families (118 titles), including the delivery of 92 titles to women as individual or women in a couple. Since the third quarter of 2017, there has been an increasing trend in the titling of plots in favor of women.

With regard to the delivery of titles at a national scale, the government, through its 2014-2018 National Development Plan, set the goal of 35,000 titles to be delivered between January 2015 and December 2018.

3 According to SINERGIA (National System for the Evaluation of Public Sector Performance) , over the last three years, the government has so far awarded 25,897 titles, corresponding to 74% of its four-year goal.

In 2017, the National Land Agency began the task of adjudicating parcels (once the responsibility of INCODER), as well as the task of formalizing rural property (once the responsibility of MARD). The following table shows the goals and advances by year.

TABLE 5 – GOC PROGRESS IN FORMALIZATION BY YEAR

For its fiscal year 2017, the GOC established a goal of titling 8,570 parcels. By November 2017, they had formalized 4,401 plots parcels, meeting 51% of their target at that juncture.

O2.2 REDUCED COST OF FORMALIZATION This indicator measures the average reduction in costs for the formalization of a public or private land parcel.

After establishing the baseline and targets through the different process typologies, the program has made progress in the design of the methodology for the collection of information and calculation of the indicator during the different stages of the systematic formalization pilot in the Municipality of Ovejas.

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) XVII Various obstacles encountered in launch of the parcel sweep for the Ovejas pilot, which were detailed earlier, have also frustrated timely collection of information for this indicator to be able to report on progress against the initial baseline.

2.1.1 NUMBER OF FORMALIZATION CASES SUPPORTED BY LRDP THAT ADVANCE TO A KEY MILESTONE IN THE PROCESS (CUSTOM) This indicator monitors how requests for title proceed through the various steps, counting a case each time it reaches one of 11 milestones that make up the administrative or judicial formalization processes. Meaningful progress was achieved during the quarter as a result of LRDP efforts to support multiple land formalization initiatives in the regions. Custom indicator 2.1.1 contributes to standard indicator EG.10.4-5 through a disaggregation of the indicator data by milestone. Since EG 10.4-5 only reports on the number of cases that get registered in an official land administration system, the custom indicator`s contribution to the standard indicator is limited to those cases that reach title registration (milestone #11).

For the current period, 2,466 new milestones were reached, corresponding to 1,927 individual formalization cases. This represents 33.4% of the FY18 annual target. Since project inception, a total of 16,014 milestones have been surpassed, constituting 68.1% of the LOP target. Most of this progress was sustained during the last fiscal year and in the first quarter of 2018.

XVIII LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) To date, the program has carried out preliminary analysis, the first milestone in the formalization process, for 8,620 formalization cases. This step is essential to establish whether any factors restrict the parcel from proceeding through the formalization process, often due to environmental protections, ongoing processes of land restitution, overlap with areas of indigenous reservations, or requests for extension of these reservations. The extent of these restrictions has been a major barrier to the ability to proceed with formalization of parcels. On average, for every 14 applications that the program analyzes, only one is free to proceed to the next step in the process.

2.2.1 REDUCTION IN TIME OF THE FORMALIZATION PROCESS (CUSTOM) This indicator measures the average time reduction, in days, for the formalization of a public or private land parcel, starting from the first milestone of preliminary analysis and identification through to the last milestone of registration of the title.

After establishing the baseline and targets through the different process typologies, the program made progress in the design of the methodology for the collection of information and calculation of the indicator. Indicator measurement will be conducted once formalization interventions in the Ovejas Pilot conclude. However, LRDP is continuously monitoring the times of each of the pilot’s formalization phases in order to calculate the final measurement.

2.2.2 LEGAL FRAMEWORK ENABLING RAPID AND MASSIVE FORMALIZATION DEVELOPED WITH LRDP SUPPORT (CUSTOM) During the quarter, the Decree 115 of 2017 was adopted, which orders the creation of a Municipal Land Office in Puerto Lopez, Meta for purposes of strengthening local institutional capacity to implement the land formalization policy. With the passage of this decree, the quarterly result for indicator 2.2.2 is one, and the cumulative LOP result reaches 11 legal instruments that facilitate rapid and massive land formalization.

LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) XIX O3.1 PERCENTAGE OF PROJECTS FUNDED WITH LRDP SUPPORT THAT ARE IN IMPLEMENTATION (CUSTOM) This indicator measures the percentage of projects that have received initial or additional funding as a result of LRDP support and are currently using this funding to advance a specific activity or initiative. An increase in the proportion of projects that are in implementation demonstrates LRDP impact on the ability to execute funds that are mobilized.

In this quarter, seven new projects began implementation, increasing the total progress to 94 activities under execution. With a LOP target of 85 projects under implementation, the program has achieved 110.5% of its goal. The following figure shows the progress by year and region.

During the life of the program, 133 projects were formulated and managed to secure funding with LRDP support (see indicator 3.1.2), out of which 94 have so far been implemented, i.e. 70.68% (see Table 8 in the next subsection). The vast majority (87%) of these are agriculture projects, while others relate to investments in irrigation, sanitation, and technical assistance (see figure below). Agriculture project investments include the expansion of areas of production, improvement of agricultural practices, improvement of productive infrastructure, technical assistance, organizational strengthening, environmental support, and the establishment of PPPs, indicative of GOC commitment to reviving the agricultural sector. As the program moves toward closure, continued efforts will focus on the management of resources to assure the financial viability of the projects, with the aim of increasing the numbers of projects that are funded and under implementation.

XX LAND AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: QUARTERLY REPORT (OCTOBER 2017 – DECEMBER 2017) O3.2: NUMBER OF RURAL HOUSEHOLDS IN CONFLICT AFFECTED REGIONS THAT GAIN ACCESS TO PUBLIC GOODS THROUGH EXPANDED FUNDING AS A RESULT OF LRDP ASSISTANCE (CUSTOM) This indicator captures the number of rural households in the five regions where LRDP is operating that have new or improved access to public goods; including local infrastructure (e.g., tertiary roads and irrigation) or productive projects (e.g., a specific income generating activity) that result from the execution of mobilized funds. This indicator measures the extent to which USG-supported efforts to channel public and private investments to conflict affected regions reach the intended beneficiaries. Custom indicator O3.2 contributes to standard indicator EG.3-1 through a disaggregation of direct and indirect beneficiaries. Whereas Custom indicator O3.2 tracks both direct and indirect beneficiaries (households) of LRDP assistance, standard indicator EG.3-1 only reports on direct beneficiaries.

During the quarter, 4,679 rural households benefited from investments in the regions, allowing the program to exceed its FY18 target of 1,579 households by nearly threefold. With a cumulative result of 9,476 families reached to date, 126.3% of the LOP target has now been reached. The number of rural households is expected to grow in the following periods because of the PPPs formed with the program’s support and especially the provision of technical assistance that PPP partners committed to. The following table provides a regional breakdown of the results of this indicator in addition to indicators O3.1 and 3.1.2 in order to show the relation among them.

3.1.1. NUMBER OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS (PPPS) FORMED WITH LRDP SUPPORT (CUSTOM) A partnership (or alliance) is considered formed when there is a clear written agreement from a private and a public entity to work together to achieve a common objective. Each partnership counted needs to specify the total amount of new funds or in-kind contributions it will make to the partnership; this is disaggregated by counterpart – public, private and USG. Private sector contributions are defined as funding received from a private sector partner, and/or private sector funding that can be funneled through non-governmental organizations (NGOs), foundations, or other private philanthropic organizations. Public entities include regional and local government, multilateral development institutions, national governments of developing countries, and public universities or other arms of national governments. Custom indicator 3.1.1 contributes directly to standard indicator EG.3.2-5 (See Table of Standard Indicators at the end of this annex)

During the quarter, LRDP supported the creation of four (4) new PPPs, resulting in a total of 14 PPPs facilitated by the program compared to the LOP target of 13 PPPs. Currently, the program continues to support all PPPs to ensure partners deliver on commitments set out in their agreements. With the creation of the PPPs, at least 8,359 beneficiaries represented by 1,021 organizations are expected gain access to new markets and increase their incomes; 22% of PPP producer members are women.4 Major progress in the formation of PPPs got underway in late FY16, reflecting implementation of regional strategies focused on priority value chains; LRDP is currently supporting PPPs focused on 11 value chains.

4 LRDP will continue to invest in efforts to highlight the role of women in strengthening producer associations that form part of the PPPs.

3.1.2 NUMBER OF RESOURCES SUBMISSIONS FROM MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS SUPPORTED BY LRDP THAT OBTAINED FUNDS FROM NATIONAL, REGIONAL OR LOCAL GOC ENTITIES - PROJECTS WITH RESOURCES ALLOCATED (CUSTOM) “Applications for resources” are those project proposals or profiles for short- and long-term activities formulated and budgeted with clearly identified sources of financing. These project proposals or profiles are often related to agriculture production initiatives and to providing public goods and services, such as technical assistance, irrigation, sanitation, productive infrastructure, improved roads and/or other rural community priorities. For the purposes of this indicator, qualified applications are any Government-based mechanism, private sector mechanism, or community based mechanism that articulates a specific project or initiative requiring funding and that will promote a better quality of life in rural areas. Other mechanisms include any plans or initiatives used to mobilize resources from a particular source to fund a specific community or rural need. During the quarter, 21 projects obtained funding, reaching a total of 133 projects since the start of the program, exceeding the LOP target of 113 projects with funding. In the coming months, progress is expected to continue as a result of sustained follow-up on project investments. As shown in the figure below, 37% of the projects that have secured funding correspond to the region of Montes de María, and include investments in social and agricultural infrastructure.

O4.1 NUMBER OF GOC LAND ENTITY ACTION PLANS DEVELOPED, SYSTEMATIZED, AND REPORTED TO NATIONAL SYSTEM FOR THE EVALUATION OF PUBLIC SECTOR PERFORMANCE (SINERGIA) (CUSTOM) “Action Plans” are management tools for the efficient implementation of annual projects and activities for a particular entity within the framework of the Institutional Strategic Plan and the National Development Plan. The Good Government and Public Management Policy facilitates the implementation of an integrated planning and management system -- SINERGIA, which allows decision makers to evaluate results in real time.

Actions plans are considered to be “systematized” when their progress data is transferred to SINERGIA within an established timeframe.

During LRDP’s first year, it provided support to the GOC to improve SINERGIA, the National System for the Evaluation of Public Sector Performance, with the purpose of increasing its use and making it easier for users to follow up on information and interact with the system. Subsequently, the program provided technical support to IGAC in the formulation of their Strategic Plan as an instrument for planning, management, and continued monitoring of their institutional performance. This enabled IGAC to report on indicators related to cartography, soil science, cadaster, geography, and geospatial technologies that correspond to priorities expressed in the National Development Plan.

Indicator O4.1 measures the efficiency in reporting information derived from entity strategic plans that contribute to measuring progress in fulfilling NDP indicator objectives. During the quarter, LRDP support to IGAC resulted in the formulation of 14 strategic plans, which in turn reported information to SINERGIA. These plans were: 1. Cartography - Production of basic digital mapping 2. Soil Science (agrology) - Land survey, geomorphology, and monitoring of factors that affect the land resource in Colombia.

3. Cartography - Geodesy - Maintenance of the Geodetic Reference System.

13. Office of the Secretary General - Renovation and maintenance of IGAC equipment and physical infrastructure at the national level 14. Office of the Secretary General - Human Talent - Strategic Management of Human Talent

With the design and development of a planning and management system, SOFIGAC, IGAC now has an interactive system for reporting on indicators. Whereas the program initially sought to secure 12 action plans for reporting information in SINERGIA, ultimately it was successful in securing 14 plans.

O4.2 REDUCED TIME TO ACCESS INPUTS FOR RESTITUTION PROCESSES (CUSTOM) This indicator assesses the average percentage change in the length of time needed by the LRU to access relevant land information, as compared to the baseline. Shorter average times are indicative of increased efficiency of the land restitution process at both regional and national levels. LRDP lends support to various types of information “services” that are critical for the restitution process and are associated with specific entities.

This indicator is not fully updated since the last period due to not having yet received information from IGAC on one of the information services contributing to indicator measurement. However, if we calculate the average decrease in time for the generation and delivery of information of the eight information services reported to date, the result is a 98.6% reduction compared to the baseline, which exceeds the goals of the program. According to the agreed monitoring schedule with IGAC, we should receive information in the second quarter and report on it in the next report.

The program’s main interventions have been in the design, development, and implementation of applications that have facilitated the organization and reporting of data, as well as the implementation of web services facilitating the exchange of information.

4.2.1 NUMBER OF LAND RELATED FILES DIGITIZED (CUSTOM) This indicator refers to files as those documents in the possession of various GOC entities that address land matters. Digitization refers to organization, systemization, and sometimes conversion to electronic formats. Documents are in hard-copy formats (analog). Examples include: official records, maps, tapes, historical books, among others, related to the restitution and formalization process.

To date, 2,900,590 files have been organized and digitized, or 69% of the LOP goal of 4.2 million files. During the quarter, 933,544 files were digitized. FIGURE 17 - FILES DIGITIZED BY ENTITY
