PROJET DE MODERNISATION DU CADASTRE

This Cadastral Survey Modernization Support Project is designed to support Government efforts to modernize cadastral survey, State property and land registration activities with a view to improving internally-generated resources mobilization and the business climate. The project is in keeping with the National Good Governance Program (NGGP) which is a pillar of the poverty reduction strategy. One of the objectives of the strategy is to create wealth by establishing an enabling environment for private sector development and improvement of internally-generated resources mobilization. The project should concentrate on cadastral survey, State property and land registration activities, all three characterized by the obsolescence of texts and ignorance over the actual land situation, the scarcity of resources in various government departments and the unsuitable organization chart of the General Directorate of Tax and State Property (Direction Générale des Impôts et des Domaines, DGID). The intervention comprises three (03) main components, namely: (i) strengthening the capacity of the Cadastral Survey Office; (ii) capacity building with regard to State property, tax system verification, administration and coordination; and (iii) project management.
