	Administration of tenure 17. Records of tenure rights	17.4 Implementing agencies should adopt simplified procedures and locally suitable technology to reduce the costs and time required for delivering services.

To facilitate the use of records of tenure rights, implementing agencies should link information on the rights, the holders of those rights, and the spatial units related to those rights. Records should be indexed by spatial units as well as by holders to allow competing or overlapping rights to be identified. As part of broader public information sharing, records of tenure rights should be available to State agencies and local governments to improve their services. Information should be shared in accordance with national standards, and include disaggregated data on tenure rights.
