Implementation of the national land informatiion system (NLIS) in Uganda: Strengthening land governance
Richard Oput, Aurélie Milledrogues, Christopher Burke
The Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development (MLHUD), supported by the World Bank, has engaged a consortium led by IGN FI to implement the second phase of the National Land Information System from February 2015 to February 2020. The system integrates land registration, land administration, surveying and mapping, physical planning, property valuation and land records. Provided as a World Bank loan, the total cost of the NLIS is valued at US$66 million including the construction of buildings. Established in fulfillment of Government of Uganda policies, the NLIS has demonstrated substantial improvements in service delivery, accountability, security and cost effectiveness. Almost US$114 million in revenue has already been generated and the NLIS has resulted in a significant reduction in: 1) backdoor transactions, 2) forgeries and graft, and 3) challenges associated with missing land records and demonstrated a solid contribution to the development of Uganda.
