Abstract
The current Nepalese Land Administration System only deals with the formal land tenure system. Approximately 10 million land parcels are under informal tenure and outside the formal cadaster. Families under such informal tenure are highly vulnerable to eviction due to unsecured land tenure. Informal tenure is causing huge loss to economy and the valuable land asset is dumped as “dead capital”.
Addressing this problem of informality with the existing conventional approach may require huge financial resources and a long timeframe which could be difficult to manage for a country like Nepal with limited resources and escalated demands of the people generally after the peace process of 2007. In this context, this paper presents an innovative approach using a Fit- forPurpose (FFP) approach to land administration which is seen as an appropriate solution to
manage informal land tenure and, thereby, implement the provisions in the proposed land policies and newly enacted Constitution of Nepal. The results of the pilot studies are encouraging and it is considered that the approach can be implemented throughout the country at affordable costs and within a relative short timeframe
