The UP Open University and the Land Administration and Management Project Phase 2 (LAMP 2) entered into an agreement to develop globally recognized non-degree and degree programs that will   professionalize the land valuation and management service in the Philippines. The programs, which will be delivered through distance education in 2010, will adopt the international standards for land valuation.

The UPOU and LAMP2 signed the Memorandum of Understanding on 30 October 2008 at the Sulo Hotel, Quezon City.
LAMP is an inter-agency project led by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) in partnership with the Department of Justice (DOJ)/ Land Registration Authority (LRA) and the Department of Finance (DOF), with funding support from the World Bank and Technical assistance from the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID).
