Failure

The proposed project supports the implementation of the first phase of the long-term National Program for the modernization of Egypt’s property registration system, which aims to provide a modern, efficient land and property registration service that operates across Egypt, covers all properties in the country and which is accepted and used by people, businesses, and financial institutions as a foundation for economic growth and creating jobs. The project will support the modernization of offices and the introduction of e-services for registering property in selected REPD offices, as well as the registration of all properties in selected NUCs. As part of the modernization of property registration, the project will build a geospatial database of properties linked to existing registered deeds in the REPD database, by building on the lessons of the ongoing pilot conducted by MoJ in Port Said. In this first phase, emphasis will be placed on encouraging public participation in the property registration process; streamlining and automating procedures; building capacity of key relevant stakeholders; and improving the public perception of property registration services to generate a culture of formal registration. Attention will also be placed on the establishment of effective systems at national level that efficiently and correctly document property ownership and transaction information. The project will further support preparation activities, including business processes reviews and data collection, for systematic property registration in existing urban centers in view of a a national roll out once the new Title Registration Law is approved. Supporting the implementation of the National Program will significantly improve the tenure security of the Egyptian public, particularly those most vulnerable including women and youth. It will further significantly reduce conflict on property rights and build institutional capacity to effectively adjudicate and mediate disputes.
