Cadastre/Land assessment

Completion of a pre-cadastre on 5 pilot areas, Haiti

Reconstruction operations that followed the earthquake that occurred in Haiti in 2010 raised crucial land issues. These issues already existed as the way goods, people and rights were identified jeopardized land tenure in the country. In February 2010, a memorandum of understanding was established between the European and French Ministry of Foreign affairs (MAEE) and the Haitian Interministerial Committee for Planning (CIAT). Signed on September, 25th, 2010, this cooperation agreement contributes to the completion of a pre-cadastre in Haiti.

Several French well-known key players in the land sector are currently involved in this land tenure pilot project. IGN France International and FIT Conseil work jointly to provide base map data that contribute to complete a pre-cadastre in 5 pilot areas.

Modernisation and updating of the land system - Vietnam

The FASEP Vietnam project consisted of the study of a plan for the modernisation and updating of the land system of the three main cities in Vietnam: Hanoi, Danang and Ho Chi Minh.

Thanks to the proposal from Hanoi's economic mission, which was approved by the DGTPE (General Directorate of Treasury and Economic Policy), the study was partially funded by a FASEP.

Land information system - Ivory Coast

The project aimed to develop and install a tool for the creation and management of land titles. It also offers a gateway with the General Directorate of Taxes in order to allow the transformation of land certificates into land titles. This system is based on a GIS application allowing the integration of land boundaries and which will be enriched with the establishment of land certificates while integrating the parcel’s geometry. This FIS is thus compatible with the sporadic delimitation launched by the Ivorian government. It integrates information on the land that makes up a pseudo rural cadastre.

 Programming and management of services   Conception of the system • Assistance for the acquisition of computer materials • Computer development of tools  Launch of the first LIS tools  Implementation of an exchange and diffusion protocol for information  Assistance for the deployment of equipment  Training of local personnel

Implementation of a land information system - Uganda

Generated by delays in the registration of titles, costs and faltering registration procedures for official documents, land insecurity is an obstacle to the economic and social development of countries. In Uganda, a World Bank study showed that the average delay for the registration of titles was 270 days. It is within this context that the Ugandan government wished to modernise its procedures. IGN France International won a tender for the securing of property titles through the development of an unique land information system for the 6 departmental offices of the districts of Kampala, Mukono, Wakiso, Jinja, Masaka and Mbarara, as well as the establishment of a national land information centre.

 Design, implementation and installation of a land information system   Aerial photography and production of orthophotographs for the 6 districts • Geodetic and topographic work • Scan and vectorisation of existing paper maps, as well as the scan of titles and the rehabilitation of the most damaged ones  Provision of material  Training of local personnel for the new tools and procedures

Supervision of cadastral work, Nicaragua

IGN France International supervised cadastral work for the departement of Chinandega. The goal of this supervision was to verify the work completed by a Spanish company on a topographical and legal level.
IGN France International also produced cadastral data over the provinces of Esteli and Madriz. This realisation necessitated the creation of an entity that regrouped more than 200 local topographers and legal assistants, all of whom were trained by IGN France International.

Elaboration of a new land information system - Tunisia

This project was developed in order to meet the needs of Tunisia who wished to modernise its knowledge, management and value of its land heritage.
In close collaboration with the DGFiP, IGN France International developed a LIS (Land Information System) that includes a management tool for land titles, and also integrates a geographic component, a digital cadastral reference between the land information and an open architecture for dfferent organisations that manage the territory's data.

Acquisition, delivery and installation of a CAMA-type system - Namibia

IGN France International developed a land assessment application for the Namibian MLR (Ministry of Lands and Ressettlement). The CAMA-type application (Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal), is software permitting the automatic calculation of land values. It is used both for the calculation of land values and real estate. 
IGN France International provided an application of this kind to the Namibian department of Land Assessment who wished to establish a transparent and faire land tax, based solely on agricultural 'commercial' lands.
 

 Definition of the pilot zone used for the elaboration of CAMA application testing   Study and consideration of the calculation parameters, drafting of algorithms for calculations, depending on the methods defined by the client Elaboration of detailed technical specificaions Dvelopment of the application according to the terms of reference  Provision of material (work stations, software...)  Technical assistance
