These include: (i) completion of an official Rural Land Registration Field Operation Manual that will be used for all land operations in the country; (ii) hiring the majority of AFOR's key staff at the central level; and (iii) processing key procurements required to implement the largest land operations ever in Côte d’Ivoire. The mission highlighted the importance of finalizing several key procurements, including for the rural land registration operations, the land information system, and the continually operating reference stations, and of finalizing the design and implementation of an appropriate 9/24/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Cote d'Ivoire Land Policy Improvement and Implementation Project (P157206) Grievance Redress Mechanism based on the findings of the Social Assessment prior to the commencement of field operations. The mission also drew attention to the need for an independent evaluation of the initial field operations to assess their efficacy and identify additional innovations to further simplify and decrease the cost of land registration and thereby ensure the achievement of the project's development objectives and the long- term sustainability of these operations.
