First Deputy Minister of Justice, Tamar Tkeshelashvili, presented the Georgian model of land reform to representatives from over 100 countries at the World Bank Conference in Washington.

Tkeshelashvili discussed the collaborative pilot project between the National Public Registry Agency and the World Bank, titled - Irrigation and Land Market Development.

The World Bank mission praised the project's systematic registration methodology and technological solutions as exemplary, noting Georgia's high potential to provide expert support to other nations.

Drawing on the insights and experiences gained from the pilot project, Georgia has been conducting systematic land registration in 59 municipalities since 2022, funded by the state. This initiative is set to be completed by 2024. To date, over 1,000,000 land plots have been measured, with ownership rights registered for more than 700,000 plots. On average, 4,000 plots of land are measured daily.

Tkeshelashvili emphasized the importance of integrating high-tech services, highlighting Georgian innovations that have made the land registration process fully electronic, thus faster and more accessible for citizens. Additionally, she introduced the upcoming Smart Contract service, which utilizes modern technology to allow citizens to conduct real estate transactions remotely, pay fees, and register ownership rights via electronic devices.

The National Public Registry Agency also has an exhibition space at the World Bank conference. In upcoming sessions, David Devidze, Head of the National Public Registry Agency, will share Georgia's experiences on various land administration issues with other countries.
