Abstract

This Decree, consisting of 52 articles divided into four Chapters and three Annexes, regulates Law No. 8.629 and a Law No. 13.001 to provide for the process of selection, permanence and titling for families benefiting from the National Agrarian Reform Programme (PNRA). In particular, this Decree provides for the selection of the families applying for the National Agrarian Reform Programme, the verification of the conditions of permanence of the families benefiting from the Programme, the regularization of occupations of the settlement projects, the provisional and definitive titling of the parcels granted and the allocation of remaining areas to settlement projects. Land reform is considered as a set of measures aimed at achieving a better distribution of land with access to public policies to promote the social and economic development of involved families. Under the federal public administration, the PNRA will be implemented by the National Institute of Colonization and Agrarian Reform (Incra), which is responsible for promoting it in articulation with other organs and entities of the public federal, state and municipal administrations responsible for complementary public policies and necessary for the implementation of the Programme.
