Orbicon has provided the international expert in land consolidation for the 18 month FAO TCP project in Lithuania. The overall objective of the project is to contribute to a viable and sustainable agriculture structure and strengthen rural and regional development through the development of an operational land consolidation system in Lithuania. Specific objectives include: (1) improved legal, organizational and technical framework for land consolidation for different types of land (agricultural, forest); (2) a national strategy to guide a national land consolidation programme; (3) Improved knowledge of land consolidation projects by people who will design such projects and other selected stakeholders in government, communities and the private sector and (4) improved ability to access EU structural funds for land consolidation projects. To achieve these objectives, the project will build on regional best practices for land consolidation and Lithuania’s own experiences of earlier related initiatives. The project will assist the Government to investigate and develop a comprehensive methodology and national strategy for land consolidation. It will build capacity and provide training on aspects of land consolidation, and on the preparation of applications for EU support for specific land consolidation projects.
