Main challenges and objectives

44

• The land information is treated manually • The information when it exists, is in paper form• The conditions of storage are very poor

Consequences: The risks of damage, loss, destruction of existing

land documentation is very high The land records are not reliable In case of land disputes, the relevant information is

difficult to obtain, generating very long procedures and overwhelmed administrative staff

Challenges

In Uganda, more than 60% of the registered documents is in very bad state.

« In Uganda, 35% of complaints are about acts of fraud and counterfeiting ; 33% of complaints relate to delays in transactions, the unavailability of documents” (World Bank)

Considering a trustable land administration is a transparent land administration for all, the land administration must be based on georeferenced data.

The need for the completion of a geographic data set

• A reliable geodetic network was completed• Production of Up to date orthophotographies

and DTM* on the project area (17 362 m²) – completed in sept 2011

• Georeferencing the existing thematic, such as cadastral maps (16 500 maps) – on going and will be finished by the end of 2012

*DTM: Digital Terrain Model
