With the launch of a massive land tenure registration program, called the "Terra Segura" program, aiming at registering 5 million parcels and 4 thousand communities, there are several challenges that need to be overcome to ensure the achievement of the program's objectives and expectations. From the results of recent tests, there is a need to implement changes to available tools and methodology to ensure the program can reach a cruise speed in registration process. These include interoperating with other cadastres, making widely available a mobile application, training of communities for a community-based crowdsource registration and for continuous cadastre updates, and ensuring all updates can be included in the national cadastre of lands. The main goal at this moment is to facilitate the massive land tenure registration, reducing the time and costs of collecting information and promoting a more participatory intervention of the communities. This paper focus on the challenges imposed by these new requirements and provides recommendations based on the results of experiments being done in rural areas of Mozambique. SiGIT
