2. OUTLINE OF PRESENTATION
Background issues and challenges on land
Neighbourhood upgrading in Ciudadela Sucre community, Colombia
Tenure regularization and resettlement planning in Kenya
Community-led municipal information system for slums in Uganda

3. GLOBAL LAND CHALLENGES
Only 30 % cadastral coverage (versus 70% tenures off register) – need to secure tenure ASAP to all citizens.
Only 2-3% ownership by women – how to increase?
Dealing with the affordability issue: how to modernise systems in a pro-poor way?
Complexity of land rights, claims, and records: need to have new forms of land administration and records systems.
The challenge to all?
How to support various tenure types & systems to enable land reform and secure land and property rights for all?

4. KEY CHALLENGES OF SLUMS
Slums harbors majority of cities population; over 60% of Nairobi population lives in slums, 72% in Kampala.
Slums associated with poor infrastructure, poor housing, lack of basic services and overcrowding
Lack of tenure security with rampant evictions rates
Population in slums grappling with many challenges; fire, floods, insecurity
How to deal with these?

5. GLOBAL EFFORTS
UN Habitat/ GLTN towards pro poor land administrations, STDM
Operationalization of Continuum of Land Rights

6. STDM AND PARTICIPATORY ENUMERATIONS

7. THE INEVITABLE SPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES
Availability of varied geospatial data and technologies for mapping, Satellite Imagery, UAVs and Global positioning.
Growth of DBMS, FOSS and modeling standards UML improving on recording and performance.
What does it mean for land administration

8. APPLICATION OF GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGIES
…Emerging impacts and potentials of these technologies at country level…

9. IMPLEMENTATION AT COUNTRY LEVEL
Partnership:
Colombia
Habitat for Humanity
Uganda
Slum/ Shack Dwellers International
ACTogether Uganda
Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development of Uganda
Kenya
Pamoja Trust, Kenya
Technical University of Kenya
Kenya Informal Settlement Improvement Program
Mombasa County Government

10. NEIGHBOURHOOD UPGRADING IN COLOMBIA
Locality: Soacha City
Objectives:
To improve community/neighborhood infrastructure
To improve the housing conditions of community families
To improve tenure security
Results and Impacts:
Identified specific neighbourhood priorities
Adoption of a unique structuring address
Created a platform for dialogue between community and municipal government
Plans are underway to scale it up in other cities in Colombia and Bolivia

11. Land use and Risk perception maps of Ciudadela Sucre
INITIAL RESULTS
Land use and Risk perception maps of Ciudadela Sucre

12. MUNICIPAL DATA CENTERS FOR SLUMS-KENYA
Locality: Mnazi Moja in Mombasa, Mashimoni in Nairobi
Objectives:
Identification of potential beneficiaries for tenure regularization efforts
Negotiation for resettlement of Mnazi moja community
Results and Impacts:
Full list of beneficiaries identified for regularization exercise
A community land information system established in both communities
Local Authorities ready to use the data for planning and upscaling
Upscaling needs and rollout request at county level

13. INITIAL RESULTS
A community driven land Information System in Mashimoni

14. MUNICIPAL DATA CENTERS FOR SLUMS- UGANDA
Locality: Tororo, Masaka, Mbale and Entebbe Municipalities
Objectives:
Gathering of city wide profiles in 15 Municipalities of Uganda
Establishment of community led data centers in Municipal offices
Results and Impacts:
Data centers established for slums profiles in four municipalities
Good working relationships between local authorities and the community
Slums profiles being used for planning at Municipal level

15. INITIAL RESULTS - UGANDA
Tenure Security issues in Tororo municipality

16. KEY OUTCOMES Community forums informing city planning requirements
Affordable geospatial technologies accelerating delivery of tenure security to the poor
Community driven process influencing interventions and prioritization of needs at local level
Scalable systems at community level important for building effective land administration systems.
Participatory and transparent process – good governance

17. LESSONS LEARNT
Effective planning will requires geospatial data

18. LESSONS LEARNT
“Spatial enablement” will improve on tenure security of urban poor

19. CHALLENGES
Mobilization and sensitization of community is key to success of the process
Prohibitive cost on acquisition of geospatial equipment and data
Political good will
Sustainability of the process

20. WAY FORWARD More partnership at the local level
Replication and scaling up the use of technologies at Municipal level
Capacity development on geospatial technologies
Need for convergence of proprietary software to assimilate STDM and continuum concepts
