It is necessary to introduce digital tools that ensure the security and preservation of information on the rights that affect land and properties, and it is essential to train the leading and technical staff of the Timorese public administration who have this responsibility.
PFMO’s contribution to this area is limited, especially in time, but the delivery of these certificates to the 35 trainees from the National Directorate of Cadastral Services is an important contribution to a better understanding of the legal system for the regularization of property rights in Timor-Leste.”
