Tanzania Land Tenure Project Wins USAID Digital Development Award
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has announced the Feed the Future Tanzania Land Tenure Assistance (LTA) project as one of the 2018 Digital Development Award winners, also known as the “Digis.” LTA was awarded for its innovative use of GPS technology to survey and register land in rural communities and for its development of a digital registry to document property transfers. These improvements in secure land tenure have led to increased access to inputs and financing for small farmers, reduced property disputes, and a new market for buying and selling land.
A parasurveyor trained by LTA marks property boundaries on a GPS-enabled tablet, creating a digital map of land ownership in the community.
