In 2009, Brazil created the National Land Regularisation Programme – Programa
Terra Legal – in the context of the national Government’s efforts to reduce
deforestation and to promote sustainable development in the Amazon
Terra Legal
Background
Regularisation of rural
land titles
Regularisation of
Urban lands
Allocation of federal
public lands to social or
collective purposes

5. Background
Terra Legal
The Terra Legal Programme introduced
transparency in the allocation of lands to
different functions through the creation of
an integrated land management system:
Main results to date
More than 30 thousand land titles in rural areas regularised;
More than 170 thousand properties were georeferenced - approximately 64 million hectares.
More than 500 urban areas regularised, benefitting more than 1 million people;

6. 7th Capitalization Meeting
EU Land Governance Programme
On the basis of the Voluntary Guidelines, the project foresees actions on land governance in
the federal and state land institutions, environmental agencies and other relevant actors.
In this context, SERFAL, prepared a technical cooperation initiative with the objective to
improve and accelerate the process of land allocation and regularisation of public lands
under the Legal Land Programme in four states through the provision of specialised services
for technical assistance, studies and advice.
The EU project provides support in strict coordination with a project supported by the
German Government and implemented by GIZ to support land regularisation in in
Rondônia, Acre and the south of the State of Amazonas

to assess in 40 offices in the four states the
number and state of files that need to be
digitalised.
A number of new consultancies are under preparation,
including a consultancy to:
• implement the communication and visibility plan;
• organize SERFAL’s data bases;
• automatize the planning and preparation of the
integrated regional mobilisation methodology;
• help SERFAL to improve the efficiency of that
methodology

Terra Legal main Challenges:
Minimise conflicts
Promote legal security
Contribute to the reduction of deforestation;
Contribute to the mitigation of climate changes
EU Project to Support Terra Legal :
How to increase efficiency of regularization efforts.
Organise data in such a way that all actors have access to
georeferenced data, and that these data can be shared with
other parties,
Ensure that the expected impacts of land regularization be
monitored and achieved.
Challenges

Next steps for in the coming year:
• Implement Communication and visibility plan
• Digitalise all process files in the States of Pará; Mato Grosso, Amazonas and Amapá;
• Test alternatives to increase efficiency of Integrated Regional Mobilization Methodology (mutirões);
• Implement system of monitoring impacts of the Terra Legal Programme;
• Develop Improvements in the Georeferenced Land Regularization system (SIGEF)
• Agree joint workplans with state land regularisation agencies in Mato Grosso, Pará and Amazonas
• Launching of the project at state level (state of Mato Grosso, Cuiabá) – 4-6 July with the
participation of the EU Ambassador and land state authorities.
