First, the availability and accuracy of land registration information have been further enhanced with 300,000 additional Land Use Rights Certificates (LURCs) issued by the end of December 2013, bringing the total number of LURCs issued under the project to 1.8 million (of which 1.6 million included the names of women) and the coverage of parcels by LURCs granted to land users compared with the total number of eligible parcels to 53=2%, i.e. 63% and 65% of the end-of-project targets, respectively. Second, delivery of land registration information services had been further improved with 9 LROs Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Report No: ISR14550 complying with approved service standards and 39 LROs operational with staff trained and equipment installed by February 2014 (i.e. 18% and 64% of the respective end-of-project targets). Capacity building further progressed with 3 training courses for project staff and 4 nation-wide training courses in cadastral data integration for 404 provincial Land Office staff. There was also important progress in the land policy agenda with the promulgation of the new Land Law and the strong consensus on findings and recommendations of the Land Governance Assessment Framework (LGAF) Study. Disbursements under the Bank Credit and New Zealand Grant Funds increased from 43% to 51% and from 37% to 58%, Public Disclosure Copy respectively. Delays in the completion of Technical Services (TS) contracts and their liquidation remain a critical implementation issue to be addressed. However, with the project closing date now extended to June 30, 2015, the Project Development Objective (PDO) is expected to be fully achieved.
