Nine Years with the Land Reform Programme in Ukraine
Sweden and Ukraine have been cooperating in the land
reform programme in Ukraine since 1994. Swedesurvey’s Ukrainian
counterpart is the Department of Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre at
the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine.
Phase IV of the project, which will terminate in September
2003, has focused on the creation of an NSDI (National Spatial Data
Infrastructure) for the entire country. The outcome of this Sida financed
project is important not only to individual organizations but also for
Ukraine as a whole and the results will improve effectiveness of public
administration in the field of land reform.
 What has been achieved in the project? Most of the project
objectives have already been fulfilled. The project has
supported the establishment of a standard for a Real
Property System in Ukraine as
well as supporting the development of a GeoSF (Geographic
Spatial Framework) package, essential in outlining an
NSDI. The project has also stimulated
the titling process in the pilot sites (Ternopil, Kharkiv,
Vinnitsa, Poltava, Rivne and the old Swedish village
of Gammalsvenskby in Kherson
Oblast). The Project has also supported the issuing of
thousands of State Acts (ownership certificates) and
has examined different ways
to prepare Index Maps (administrative boundaries) too.
This research was carried out in close cooperation with
the State Committee of Land
Resources (Derzhkomzem). Training has been an extensive
part of the project; at least 2000 Ukrainians have received
training during the
past nine years in different subjects such as digital
mapping, legislation, land management, land registration
and land valuation. A lot of study
trips and on-the-job training activities were carried
out in  Sweden in order for participants from Ukraine
to study how Swedish/Western Real Property Systems work as well as to
learn about
digital map production.
Finally, seminars have been organized and carried out
in Ukraine within the framework of the project on different
aspects of women's access
to land.
