Rwanda : Kigali City Council (KCC) : cadastral information system
Osterberg, Tommy, Mohamed Khadash & Kholoud Saad
In recent years, cadastre systems have developed from manual inconsistent systems into automated systems that highly benefit from the advancements in the Geo-Information and Communication Technology (Geo-ICT). Such advancements led to the emergence of ArcCadastre, which is internationally unique software for collecting, maintaining, processing and presenting geographic and cadastral information. It was implemented in Rwanda. ArcCadastre was used to establish the Rwanda Cadastral Information System at Kigali City Council (KCC). Rwanda KCC project has been embarking on increasing the land tax collection revenue. The project's business idea is very logical. A well developed land information system linked to a land tax revenue billing system could pay back the development investments in a relatively short time. The key challenges facing KCC relate to sustaining the development, maintenance and use of the land related database in a rational and cost effective manner. Geomaps has been awarded the outsourcing project for the establishment of a cadastral database for land and revenue management using GIS by the City Council of Kigali, Rwanda. Swedesurvey is providing services in order to support Geomaps in the implementation of the project. The services from Swedesurvey include consultancy services in the field of system design, database development, data security and ArcCadastre. The system developed has been named Geomanager.
