*3.3. Governance Aspects*

To get an overview of the governance requirements to support the adoption and use of the above-mentioned remote sensing methodologies, in-depth semistructured interviews were conducted and focus group discussions were organized. The assessed governance aspects are strongly based on FFP demands [4] and dimensions of the governance assessment tool [54]. Three focus group discussions were organized. The first group focused on local government (with 18 participants), the second on private companies and NGOs (with 32 participants), and the third on national government (with three participants). During the focus groups, participants were able to map the different governance requirements (responsible actors, partners, levels, instruments, resources, organizational characteristics, capacity development characteristics, and cultural characteristics) needed to successfully adopt the technical applications. Besides these focus group discussions, we were also able to do 18 in-depth semistructured interviews in Kenya. For these interviews, we were making use of a guiding topic list to facilitate the extensive data collection to support the development of multi-sectoral profiles (e.g., socioeconomic characteristics, geospatial innovation trends, etc.) of the identified case areas pertaining to land tenure information. The topic list that guided the interviews was a compilation from an extensive literature reviews on governance and capacity development. The questions of the semistructured interviews were not only structured by the specific topics, but also open enough to allow for clarifications, new insights and deepening of the subjects by new, unexpected responses during the interviews.
