The delegation visits responsible Ministries (the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Environment), the Land developer Skanska, The Swedish National Audit Office, The National Property Board, a Swedish bank as well as Lantmäteriet, i.e. the National Land Survey of Sweden.

The objectives are to demonstrate the roles, responsibilities and interaction among the wide spectra of actors involved in the land administration and also to highlight necessary mechanisms that has to be in place to obtain an efficient land market and effective land use management, which together supports sustainable economic and social development. In addition, the importance of facilitating top-delegates to meet with each other and discuss and compare the land issues should not be underestimated.
