Internally Displaced Persons – 1997

Full Implementation Full implementation

The land transfer programs remained a challenge, but progress was made on many of the most vexing cases. The transfer of human settlements was again the biggest challenge.1

Nearing the completion of the land transfer program, almost 35,000 persons had received titles to a total of over 140,000 manzanas (235,200 acres) of land. Hundreds of persons had not received land titles, however, and the government was still moving rather slowly to resolve the logistical issues preventing the completion of the program.2
