Through this study, the Regional Government of Cajamarca has identified its actual capacities andinstitutional conditions on the basis of the national, intersectorial, sectorial, and territorial policies; of its role and competences in order to determine the positive and negative aspects, as well as the needs to ameliorate, to adapt and to adequate its organizational and functional scheme to the land management process. This study covers the general characterization of the context and the organizational, functional and resources level within the government, to establish its real institutional capacities, determining strategies and programs to adequately assume the territorial management. It was elaborated on the basis of the corresponding matrix which follows the indications given by the Resolución Ministerial 135-2013-MINAM that approves the Guía Metodológica para la Elaboración de los Instrumentos Técnicos Sustentatorios para el Ordenamiento Territorial. Here we incorporate global and individual evaluation models proposed by the Minam to establish an Institutional Capacity of the Regional Government Index.It was determined that the institutional capacity gap reaches 15 points that represent 75%, that is, enough institutional capacity to elaborate the land management program. The main contribution of this study is to establish strategies and programs to bettering the institutional capacity of the regional government in order to optimize the function of land management.
