Also,   GIFTEL   has   constructed   Common   Facilities   platforms   to   encourage   telecom   to   extend   services  to  rural  areas.   LAND   5.16   Complex  and  lengthy  procedures,  and  high  costs  associated  with  purchase  and     registration  of  lands   There  are  three  (3)  types  of  land  ownership  in  Ghana  with  an  approximate  ratio  of  10  percent   belonging   to   government   and   the   remaining   90%   is   either   family   or   stool   lands.   Lands   Commission  is  one  of  the  institutions  involved  in  registration  and  purchasing  of  land.  The  Land   Administration   Project   (LAP)   is   to   streamline   the   whole   land   purchase   and   registration   procedure  and  bring  all  the  institutions  under  a  new  Lands  Commission.   The  Commission  explained  that  there  has  been  little  change  in  the  procedures  to  really  affect   the   time   it   takes   for   total   processing.   This   is   because   process   of   registration   involves   various   sister   but   independent   departments   (i.e.   Land   Title   Board,   Land   Valuation   Board,   TCPD,   and   Survey  Department  among  others).  At  each  of  these  places  the  procedures  are  long.   It  is  against  this  background  that  through  the  LAP,  a  One  –  Stop  –  Shop  (OSS)  is  being  piloted  at   Madina  in  Accra  to  bring  all  the  Land  Sector  Agencies  (LSAs)  under  one  roof.  The  concept  of  the   OSS  is  to  “co-­‐locate  the  LSAs  and  reduce  steps  involved  in  the  administrative  service  procedures   and   to   change   the   way   these   services   are   provided,   from   “many   doors   for   one   service”   to   “one   door   for   many   services”15.   The   OSS   will   offer   patrons   of   the   LSAs   the   ability   to   use   a   single   service  centre  for  all  the  agencies.   With  regard  to  cost  of  registration,  there  has  been  little  to  no  change.   The   Commission   has   no   involvement   in   transaction   of   Family   Owned   Lands.   When   the   transaction  is  over  a  stool  land,  the  Commission  grants  a  concurrence  and  with  government  or   public  lands,  Lands  Commission  does  the  processing  of  documents.                                                                                                                             22 15 OSS Task Team, Report on the Development of One – Stop – Shop (OSS) for Madina 115
