\nThe U.S. government is partnering with the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to strengthen transparency and accuracy in the land records and registration system, promoting economic growth and investment in the seven subdivisions of the newly merged districts.
\nThe U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has provided equipment worth $5 million dollars to the KP Board of Revenue to augment its capacity for accurate land measurements.
\nThe ceremony held in this regard was also attended by the US Ambassador, Donald Blome, said a press release issued here on Friday.
\nThe United States also announced a new partnership to empower the Ombudsperson Secretariat by providing training to Ombudsperson staff on women\u2019s rights and land settlement regulations.
\nThis initiative aims to raise awareness about the Ombudsperson\u2019s crucial role in safeguarding women\u2019s rights to property and inheritance.
\nSpeaking on the occasion, Senior Member of Revenue (SMBR), Ikramullah Khan said that the board is digitizing the entire land record system in seven subdivisions of the newly merged districts to benefit the people by increasing efficiency, accuracy, and convenience of the institution.

\nThe center is the largest construction project ever completed by INL in Pakistan. Implemented by the UN Development Program (UNDP), the completion of this project has enabled the training center to increase its training capacity to 1,700 personnel at one time.
\nThe project constructed 75 buildings, including academic buildings, a health unit, men\u2019s and women\u2019s hostels, and a multi-purpose hall.
