With support from the European Union and FAO, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Water Economy (MAFWE) leads the implementation of the National Land Consolidation Programme. As the main Project Coordinator, MAFWE closely collaborates with the FAO project team, working together on policy aspects and field implementation of land consolidation projects. 

The FAO Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia provides overall supervision and administrative support.

Specialized private companies will be contracted for certain tasks, like design, construction, and supervision of infrastructure development and land re-allotment planning.

A Permanent Advisory Group was established in February 2023 and ensures policy discussions and long-term sustainability of the government's land consolidation efforts.

A Project Steering Committee monitors the project progress and fosters cooperation between institutions involved in land consolidation.
