Better land management encourages investment and increases land value. It also reduces land-related conflicts. At the same time, land administration services become more efficient, boosting public confidence in government services.

Land administration
Context
The Tanzanian Ministry of Lands (MLHHSD) wanted to modernize land administration and develop institutional transformation. At the time, the land registration system was managed semi-manually, leading to discrepancies between land values and real estate transactions. The ILMIS project computerized all cadastral and registration data managed by the Ministry in Dar es Salaam, as well as the zonal offices.
