Abstract
The objective of this study is to establish a baseline for the impact evaluation of the institutional strengthening of the land administration system in Mozambique, particularly associated with the: a) number of land conflicts, b) number of land transactions and c) amount of time transpired between the application date and issuance date for clear legal rights for access and land use in district and municipalities. The land transaction (purchase, rentals, and mortgage) is an indicator of land market growth and will be measured using the administrative records at Land Administration Units (LAUs). The “DUAT transaction” time is defined as the time period between DUAT application and issuance by municipality offices and indicator of efficiency in providing land administration services. To achieve this objective, data from two different sources was obtained, including district and municipalities. In the municipalities, data was retrieved from the land administrative offices records in 16 municipalities (9 treatment and 7 control sites). Essentially, records on land registration was retrieved, copied to PDFs and entered into digital form. The second data source is the administrative data obtained from the provincial land administrative offices (SPGCs) in the four provinces in North-Central Mozambique where the Millennium Challenge Account implemented its land tenure project. Note that, data obtained in the districts was in digital form (Access) converted to Stata for analysis. A total of 11,311 land titles were compiled from the existing records from the two data sources.

Mozambique
Program
The Land Tenure Services Project (or simply the “Land Project”) of the Mozambique MCA compact aims to establish more efficient and secure access to land by improving the policy and regulatory framework and helping beneficiaries meet their immediate needs for registered land rights and better access to land for investment. The Project’s objectives are to: (i) increase the level and value of investment on land; (ii) increase access to land; (iii) reduce the costs associated with acquiring land user rights; and (iv) resolve and prevent conflicts over land. Investments are targeted to all four Northern Provinces, at all levels of administration – National, Provincial, and District / Municipal – and across a range of beneficiaries, including rural individual land holders, rural communities, urban land holders, and domestic and international investors.

Program Logic
The Land Project is comprised of three mutually reinforcing activity areas (or Pillars) with different geographic coverage. The National Land Administration Interventions were involved with building the institutional capacity to implement policies and provide quality public land-related services. Examples of activities under this Pillar include: 1. Professional development and training (national level) 2. Further development of LIMS (national level) 3. Technical Assistance to the upgrading of facilities (4 Provincial SPGCs and 12 selected district land service office) 4. Technical Assistance for cadastral development in selected municipalities (8 selected municipalities)
