Summary

3. Context
Land tenure security is fundamental to a range of development outcomes. Clear and documented land ownership:
Improves economic growth
Strengthens natural resource management
Protects vulnerable groups
Reduces conflict over property rights
Assists in change and disaster resilience
The City of Cape Town Valuations Department
Responsible for valuing all commercial and residential properties in the City.
In 2009, the Department implemented the valuation module of the Thomson Reuters Aumentum suite.

4. Assessment of Aumentum in Cape Town: Project Scope
KPMG developed an analytical framework to identify the impact of the installation by the City and undertook a pilot impact study of the use of the Aumentum Valuation module
Value of impact study
Ability to measure the effectiveness, relevance, and efficiency of a system
Enhance Department’s understanding of the system and how it contributes to improving land tenure security
Refine future interventions that rely on/provide input to the system
Knowledge sharing among the City’s government departments for more efficient citywide planning.

5. Project Scope (continued)
The study looked at the impacts at three key levels:
City
Departmental
Societal
The study categorizes the impacts according to the following factors:
Attributable Impact: What impact is achieved as a direct result of the City’s use of the module?
Contributing Impact: What impact is achieved as a result of the City’s valuation services, indirectly the module, and what impacts can now be measured and monitored as a result?
Potential Impact: What enhancements could be made to the system and/or reporting to improve the effectiveness of the system and/or help the City better measure impact?

11. Territories of Inclusion and Opportunity (TIOS) Cali Colombia
Objective:
Advance accountability and ownership within neighborhoods that had been historically excluded
Guide investment to increase access to social and services within vulnerable populations, and to develop their capabilities and potential.
Strengthen the social fabric and renew the senses of solidarity and civic engagement
Strengthen the participation of the previously excluded communities through consultation and implementation of activities that benefit their local neighborhoods

12. TIOS Key feature of the approach
Identification of key infrastructure interventions within 11 vulnerable communities
Promotion of community engagement to identify, priorities, deliver and monitor projects
Streamlined cross-government approval methodology
Use of technology to connect to citizens
Resources channeled in focused, coordinated manner

13. Inter-governmental Collaboration Innovation Urban Planning
Key Benefits
Community Engagement
Inter-governmental Collaboration
Innovation Urban Planning
Vulnerable communities that have not had attention for twenty years are benefiting from public works projects
Consistent in-person visits to TIOS communities has directly impacted government decision makers, generating discussion and openness to prioritize and implement interventions in these neighborhoods
Prioritization process has required engagement across government ministries, solutions to procedural bottlenecks and documentation of formalized procedures (e.g. Memorandum of Understanding) which going forward help to streamline procedures and increase knowledge sharing across the 13 departments.
TIOS has catalyzed harmonization at an institutional level across various departments
Increased focus on planning in TIOS communities has unlocked need for a social mapping project which will capture the full picture of investment in the neighborhoods from government, private and social sectors. The potential to diminish overlap and leverage catalyst funding to maximize the synchronized impact.
TIOS has initiated new thinking about how to approach Cali communities. Effort underway to develop ‘NIDOS’ or urban nuclei of comprehensive, coordinated planning
Larger scale successful interventions can be used to galvanize future funding and diversify donor base
