Design, supply, installation and commissioning of integrated land management information system (ILMIS), TANZANIA

During the last decade, the ministry of lands, housing and human settlements development (MLHHSD) has undertaken efforts and initiatives to modernize land administration and develop institutional transformation. The focus is to computerize the alphanumeric data of the cadastral parcels, and registration data (certificates of occupancy, customary rights, land administration dossiers) managed by the MLHHSD in Dar es Salaam and the zonal offices. The integrated land information system (LIS) aims to integrate the spatial aspects of land administration data managed by district offices.

The system of land registration is currently managed semi – manually. The variance in land value for compensation and general property dealings is causing serious distortions in the land market. IT improvement and legislation governing the practice of land administration is urgently needed.

The ILMIS project is an initiative of the ministry of lands, housing and human settlements development (MLHHSD) of Tanzania. It is funded by the World Bank Group and the Government of Tanzania. The ILMIS project is expected to address all functions of the land sector, delivering tools for handling all land management functions (i.e.: cadastral surveying, land delivery services, town planning, workflow management, etc.), improving the security and reliability of land transactions through an efficient and reliable land information system, offering the technical framework to harmonize and share land data but also to track efficiency and transparency in delivering land administration services.

The ILMIS project finally aims at contributing to create reliable “land administration services for the customers and improving public confidence in the land administration services”.
