1. Identification and Surveying of Land Users

i)       Identification of sub-families who have rights to use land within the project area,

ii)     Identification of persons from outside the clans who rent land. 

iii)   Identify and take field center coordinates of areas of land/fields used by different people (from Steps I & II)

iv)    Collate information on how often fields are cultivated and what crops are typically grown.

2. Land and Asset Survey (L&A Survey). 

·      Plan an engagement with the client (Lekela), affected communities, and land users

·      Undertake GPS survey and mapping of boundaries of field areas, assign field reference numbers to all the affected land users; mapping ‘Orphan’ field areas overlapping the footprint boundaries.

·      Collect data on the quality of land (using simple categories pre-agreed with the client (Lekela). 

·      Complete Land & Asset (L&A) questionnaires for each affected land user, and enter the data into an Access database (to be agreed with Lekela) 

·      Collect data on field user / sub-family, place of residence, ID number, and photo with L&A survey reference number. 

·      Collect data on how often the field is cultivated (eg. every year, once of 3 years, etc). 

·      Collect data on economic trees growing in the field (eg. mango) and owners (usually clan owned). 

·      Collect data on crops growing in the field.

·      Whether the land user has access to and uses alternative fields outside the footprint. 

·      Potential alternative field areas nearby which could be prepared for the land user.  

·      Details of any structures or other assets on the land, including privately owned and any community-owned assets.

·       Resolution of boundary disputes using ADR.  

·      Photos of land and assets, crop, and user with survey reference number

·      Enter the data onto L&A excel databases.
