Case Context
• Massive land registration 2008-2012 – MCT (about 200.000 registrations)
• Terra Segura aiming at 5 million registrations of individual parcels and 4 thousand
community delimitations
• Computerisation of land cadastre 2013 nationwide …
• Mobile solution implemented during 2016 …
• Revision of business processes …
• Crowdsourcing ?

Land administration context
• Effective land productivity yield ~ 20% in Africa …
• Lack of rights registration inhibits investments …
• Great interest in legal registration & preparation for better business environment …
• Registration of State land and protected land key to improve governance …
• Cadastre with spatial data is key for land administration and planning …
• Organizational capabilities and law abiding provision of land services are key …
• All business related aspects are fundamental for sustainability …
3
Technology context …
• Technology evolves fast, is complex and relatively expensive
• Investments in technology need careful design using architectural approaches
• Business cases based decision should benefit from these strategic alignment instruments
• Technology software infrastructure became robust, secure and ready for scalability,
• Opportunity - local teams may be better positioned to build localized solutions
• Outsourcing of architecture planning may have to be contracted externally
• Priority for land administration business services may imply outsourced IS/IT services

Land Administration System Capacity Building 2013-2016
• Investments – by Government, MCA/MCC and Donors (Sweden and Holland) established
• effective practices, business process management, to register land parcel country wide,
• a modern application based on robust platform to register text and geospatial land data,
• IT services structure to support application and infrastructure support and maintenance.
• System – processes and technology - proven to work follow law abiding workflows;
• Operators have been trained and half a million parcels registered;
• System working countrywide;
• System – processes and technology – extended to facilitate field registration of data.

SiGIT in Mozambique – a success story?
• Yes ! but mind shift to focus on business capabilities - land administration services.
• Technology is an enabler – although good understanding of its role by decisors a must.
• IS/IT complexity implies the use of architectural approaches and tools for understanding.
• This is key for alignment and support long term thinking for land administration reform.
• Outsourcing of IS/IT services may be better choice for now - learning occurs from
practice.
• Roadmap for capabilities development should guide investments and delivery control.

Community-based Crowdsourcing for land
registration ?
• This business model concept works in other domains.
• Big problems require innovative ideas, out of the box.
• Technology is ready to support this organizational form for data collection – it works !
• Currently being used by Land registration service providers in GoM projects;
• Risks?
• organizational level – permanent structures to deliver the services;
• requires working central cadastre system to maintain/process registered data;
• New legislation and certification required if local community establish these services,
• Positive and open attitude to experimentation required to take advantage of these
possibilities.

Possible benefits of crowdsourcing
• More efficient registration of data as prepared community land agents could
work in parallel;
• Flexibility in maintaining the land data, as local residents would be able to
update the data almost real time without additional contracting, preparation
and dislocation costs;
• Lowering the costs of registration, as residents, paid by the community, should
do this job, expected to be less intensive after the first registration;
• Allow better control from the community themselves on their land occupation
rights, as registration should be easily accessible for consultation;
• Less conflict and easier conflict resolution due to comprehensiveness and
readiness of land data;
• More effective control of corrupt practices be it by service provider or
government agents;
• Better land planning and control by government and consequent sustainable
economic development as a result of good, complete and updated data;
• Communities empowered do explore business opportunities with investors;

Readiness of enabling factors for crowdsourcing
• Enabling on technology
• Workflow design
• Motivation and measurement
• Human resources
• Policies and rules
• Facilities
• Crowdsourcing coordination and operation management
• This structure and how it should work should be defined iteratively with the
various interested parties.

Community-Based Crowdsourcing - Can SiGIT be a lever?
SiGIT is the technology side of the equation …
• Technology is available and covers from rural and urban land registration to central cadastre
• works, is scalable, open and secure, standardized, law abiding, fully integrated and its
lifecycle locally supported and maintained – economies of scale and scope are making it
sustainable;
• Visible and modern delivery of service levels, with service desk & various IT service providers;
• The business process insight and control introduced for land registration – rural and urban;
• SiGIT fully owned by State and lifecycle support competitively negotiated;

Organizational motivation and business capabilities …
• Organizational purpose is well formulated by government in well defined programs;
• Critical to use architectural approaches describe required business capabilities and IS/IT;
• Business case and consequent project management professional practices missing;
• organizational and technology changes both designed and implemented for benefits;
• Accountability for results should become common behavior;

What other aspects and enablers for success ?
Long term thinking mindset – a must!
• Long term thinking means common ways & preparedness to drive change for long;
• Complex problems should be tackled with appropriate tools - system thinking;
