Information sources for evaluation
The information collection sources for carrying out the evaluation exercises proposed in the fact sheets in this module are the following:
Primary sources
- Interviews with service users, members of the institutions and other key players chosen according to the purpose of the proposed evaluation.
- Surveys of beneficiaries of RCT processes and users of services developed according to the aim of the proposed evaluation.
- Workshops, round tables, focus groups with users, specialist users or institution staff.
Secondary sources
- Databases (cadastral mapping, tenure regularization processes, socioeconomic studies, etc.).
- Institutional reports and accounts.
- Tenure information system reports (registers, cadastre, linked systems, etc.).
- Specialist studies – External consultation reports.
- IT, technical, financial and operational audits.
Guides and other instruments
- Guides and instruments for classifying primary and secondary information.
- Information and monitoring system combining primary and secondary information.

2.2 | Registration Mobility Index | Monitoring of the average number of procedures per registration. | |
2.3 | Analysis of institutional financial sustainability | Income generated, volume of procedures. Covering operating costs. | Carry out an analysis of the sustainability of LAIs. Assessing the results of the actions and investments promoted through LAPs. |
2.4 | Regularization, clearing and titling | Fair tenure regularization process implemented. | Present some of the options that can be used to determine, at different points in the project cycle, the efficiency and effectiveness of regularization, clearing and/or titling processes (RCT). These processes are carried out by the various LAIs through investment by LAPs. |

Cadastral mapping and updating. | Evaluation of the efficiency of Cadastral Mapping Costs (CMC) for a comparison of direct administration models, carried out directly by the cadastral institution with human, technological and financial resources provided by the project, with the outsourced model which involves contracting specialist national or international firms. |
