Following the mobilization of 56 communities the territorial level communities at the territorial level who had not previously received information on the government’s plan to implement the multipurpose cadaster, a road map of the legal-political strategy for influencing the multipurpose cadaster implementation plan was agreed upon.

The road map addresses: 1) continued pedagogic formation at the community level to ensure that communities are well-prepared and equipped with critical information to debate during the government meetings; 2) definition of crucial spaces and moments for participation in meetings with actors supporting the multipurpose cadaster plan and request information (World Bank, IDB, USAID, AFD) and governmental institutions involved in the implementation plan (IGAC, ANT, Minister of Finances, National Development Institute, DANE, SNR); 3) alliance-building with Indigenous groups (CNTI and MPC); and 4) coordination with regional and/or local governments (District of Cartagena in the Caribbean region; Northern Cauca region, and Pacific region).

Pending activities include a national forum for Afro-descendant communities to consolidate the plan for influencing at the national level and completion of a   communications strategy.
