Scaling Up a Pilot Land Management Initiative in Uganda to a National Land Information System (NLIS)
Richard Oput et al.
Land Administration and Management in Uganda faced serious challenges prompting the government to adjust laws and policies and implement a series of innovative initiatives. Following the successful implementation of the pilot Design, Supply, Installation, Implementation of the Land Information System and Securing of Land Records (DeSILISoR) Project 2010 to 2013, in 2015 the Government of Uganda with support from the World Bank commenced the implementation of a five year initiative known as the Design, Supply, Installation and Implementation of National Land Information System Infrastructure (DeSINLISI) Project to scale up the computerization of an integrated land management system nationally. The paper and presentation will describe the experiences scaling up from a pilot programme to a National Land Information System (NLIS) detailing the massive data conversion and integration efforts, including the conversion of historical data and ongoing transactions in addition to valuation and other paper document scanning and indexing along with the scanning and vectorization of cadastral maps.
