Abstract
More specifically, ILD will work to improve both (1) PROFORM, a revolutionary method for transforming informal property rights in land to formal property on a massive scale which is many times faster and cheaper than other land titling systems; and (2) its Unified Business Registry, which extends ILD"s pioneering work on property rights to the institutions governing the registration of informal microenterprises. Under the grant, ILD will more fully document and examine PROFORM by studying: informal property tenures in coastal areas of Peru and other areas in which it has not yet worked (Amazon, Andes); formal institutions governing property; the role of credit; socioeconomic impacts of PROFORM; and reasons for the success of PROFORM. ILD will also continue helping grassroots organizations to formalize their properties. Findings from the documentation and evaluation of PROFORM will be integrated to improve PROFORM so that it can be applied more effectively throughout Peru. A similar process will be undertaken with the Unified Business Registry. Research will focus on three areas: business operations in the informal sector; institutional reforms needed to improve the system, and socioeconomic impacts of use of the Registry.
