Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development unveiled an e-land information portal to increase the ministry’s efficiency and enhance public access to land information. At Ugshs10,000/-, a user will only require a smartphone and internet connection to access land information from anywhere at any time.
In collaboration with consortium IGNFI – IGN and support from World Bank, the Ministry was able to design and install the NLIS infrastructure.
The portal will enable:
- Access to accurate information on ownership, encumbrances, and location of land;
- Easy identification of rightful owners of land in order to reduce land conflicts; and
- Tracking information on land by Government e.g. multiple titling, placing caveats and transactions, among others.
This will facilitate transparency and good land governance while reducing corruption tendencies.
