Neil Pullar Mainstreaming Open Source Tenure Software Neil Pullar Voluntary Guidelines on Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests

Neil Pullar Mainstreaming Open Source Tenure Software Neil Pullar Voluntary Guidelines on Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests (VGGT) In Land Administration, SOLA open source software is an Enabling Technology for the implementation of the VGGT in that: It directly provides transparency to tenure rights records by making them accessible and easily searchable It improves service delivery in government agencies responsible for tenure rights and allows the monitoring of service requests It reduces discretionary decision making and controls registration and cadastral operations It records all changes to key records facilitating audits of changes to tenure records

Neil Pullar Mainstreaming Open Source Tenure Software Neil Pullar The SOLA Open Source Software Integrated registration and cadastral functions in a typical district land office including case management of service requests. Provides for the in-the-field capture of tenure rights by communities and individuals using mobile devices. Stores and provides web access to community collected tenure data. Also manages processes leading to the community recognition of tenure rights. Systematic (first time) registration tasks to produce public display listings and maps, generate title certificates and digital transfer of this data to a district land office. State land tasks for lease administration, acquisition, disposal and management of state land and other properties. System administration functionality.

Mainstreaming Open Source Tenure Software Neil Pullar Building Bridges between Systems Neil Pullar This year we have needed to build software bridges to connect Open Tenure collected data with other SOLA software systems where this data supports a number of land administration activities: Open Tenure allowed an early start to the digital conversion of Certificates of Occupancy in Kebbi and Katsina States, Nigeria. A bridge was build between the Community Server (where the initial CofO data was stored) and SOLA Registry Open Tenure will be used in the PTCLR and Anambra State Systematic Title Land Registration pilot as a field capture (including mapping) tool. A bridge was built between Open Tenure and SOLA Systematic

Neil Pullar Mainstreaming Open Source Tenure Software Neil Pullar Building Bridges between Systems (continued) Neil Pullar In the future the Kebbi and Katsina Open Tenure Reserve Mapping could be bridged to a SOLA State Land system to support a more rigorous management of gazetted reserves in these two states

Neil Pullar Mainstreaming Open Source Tenure Software Neil Pullar Key Factors for Mainstreaming Technology for Tenure Governance The FAO experience through its Voluntary Guidelines implementation assistance to countries has identified these key factors for successful mainstreaming : 1.Model Implementations 2.Capacity Development 3.Use of Local Software Developers 4.Organizational Culture 5.Community Engagement

Neil Pullar Mainstreaming Open Source Tenure Software Neil Pullar Key Factors for Mainstreaming Technology for Tenure Governance 6.Bridging the Gap with Community Tenure Systems 7.Transparency 8.Minimizing system operational costs 9.System sustainability

Neil Pullar Mainstreaming Open Source Tenure Software Neil Pullar Technical Guide for Enabling Technologies in Land Administration Provides guidance on how technologies can be utilized to implement many of the guidelines provisions Of particular relevance to the definition and recording of tenure rights and associated land administration processes (Part 5 of the Voluntary Guidelines) Target audience is senior staff and managers in land administration agencies of countries with incomplete and emerging land administration systems

Neil Pullar Mainstreaming Open Source Tenure Software Neil Pullar Technical Guide for Enabling Technologies in Land Administration Addresses a number of key questions: How did land administration systems evolve ? What are the key elements in modernization ? How do you digitize land records ? What are the stages to develop a computerized system ? What are some of the relevant enabling technologies ? What are the issues that could impact on modernization ?
