The action program defines key tasks and measures for ministries, agencies and localities to improve land use and management in favor of socio-economic development, national defense, food security, environmental protection, anti-wastefulness and less land complaints.

The program aims to raise people’s higher awareness of policies on land. It targets to improve land management efficiency; deploy economic measures instead of administrative ones and enable land relations to be ruled by market mechanisms under the State management.

Land reclamation, compensation, support and resettlement would be implemented in an open, transparent, democratic and fair manner and in line with legal regulations.

Resettlement areas would be built before land recovery. Displaced people would receive more support on vocational training and job creation.

The program also looks to speed up the process of shaping large farming land areas and building new rural areas and strictly control land allocation and land lease.

The issuance of certificates of land use right, residential house ownership and ownership of assets would be finalized./.
