Cadasta

Founded in 2015, Cadasta develops and promotes the use of simple digital tools and technology to help partners efficiently document, analyze, store, and share critical land and resource rights information. By creating an accessible digital record of land, property, and resource rights, we help empower individuals, communities, organizations, governments, and businesses with the information they need to make data-driven decisions and put vulnerable communities and their needs on the map. Cadasta is a technical service provider of land expertise and technology for individuals, communities, organizations, governments, and businesses looking to secure land rights to build stronger, more sustainable communities. Cadasta offers its partners affordable and open-access tools and technical assistance to support their efforts to document and secure land and resource rights. Using Cadasta’s tools, partners can directly record and capture evidence of their property claims using multi-layered information about people’s relationship to land and resources. The platform is built to allow for on-and off-line collection in remote and disconnected areas and is able to process data collected through traditional paper-based surveys and maps. Our tools allow users to customize their privacy settings to decide who can view and change records.
