La gestión de los servicios públicos está asociada a la tarea de redefinir las funciones del Estado y su relación con los bienes e intereses públicos.

   This project thesis presents a conceptual framework for a land information system that
   would result in increased revenue collection from the land rent section of the Department
   of Lands, Ministry of Lands and Settlement. It point out the need for a comprehensive
   database containing both physical and socio-economic data supported by powerful
   analytical capabilities as the basis for effective decision making on land rent for tax
   revenue collection.
   The Government has admittedly a lot of untapped revenue in the form of unrevised land

   The IGTN Advocacy Document for the 5th WTO Ministerial Meeting that was held in Cancun, Mexico in September 2003 focuses on these four issues and identifies critical advocacy positions for each of them. With regard to agriculture, the IGTN asserts that control over agriculture by states rather than the WTO would ensure that small-scale and subsistence farmers have control over farming and food supply; a particularly important concern for women around the world who are those responsible for ensuring household food security and managing family farms.

   The renovation process in Vietnam in the past decade has enabled significant economic growth as well as and greater rights and more important economic roles of farming households. However, much of this reform has focussed on men as head of households, meaning men have benefited more from economic reform, both economically and in terms of their power within the household. Inequalities continue in access to and control of key resources such as land, water, credit and rest time, as well as in access to public services.

   In March 2003 a group of land reform practitioners and researchers met informally to discuss the state of land reform in Southern Africa and to explore ideas about constructive ways forward. Following this, in late June 2003 a number of participants from the ‘think-tank’ workshop held discussions with various stakeholders in South Africa to get feedback on the report and to identify their views, with a desire to encourage debate and contribute to the building of greater consensus on the importance of meaningful, sustainable land reform.

   ...In the last four years, the Burmese army based in Mon State has confiscated thousands acres of farmland. The farmers whose land had been confiscated were not given any compensation. They have no opportunity to take legal actions against the army. As a result, many farmers who lost their lands left to Thailand to seek employment. Those who stayed in villages and towns became landless and jobless..." Land confiscation by the Burmese military - description, analysis and case studies.

    #039;Capitalizing on Conflict' presents information illustrating how trade in timber, gems,
    and gold is financing violent conflict, including widespread and gross human rights
    abuses, in Burma. Although trade in these “conflict goods” accounts for a small
    percentage of the total global trade, it severely compromises human security and
    undermines socio-economic development, not only in Burma, but throughout the
    region.
    Ironically, cease-fire agreements signed between the late 1980s and early 1990s
