Innola Solutions

Projects Description

The project is the result of steady transformations  of cadastral, registration, and valuation services  into a modern, sophisticated system

The project covered all aspects of land administration, spanning over 14 years and three implementation phases (Phase I — 2010-2013, Phase II — 2015-2020, Phase III — 2023-2024).

Services:

Survey operations with the creation of land parcels
First registrations of the property of freehold, leasehold, sublease, customary, and mailo (the Ugandan version of freehold) tenures with the issuance of a Certificate of Title
Secondary registrations of the properties, such as transfers, vesting orders, and wills
Registrations of encumbrances, such as caveats, court orders, mortgages, and easements
Property subdivisions and amalgamations with transfers of the existing rights and encumbrances on the new properties
Valuations with the assessment of Fair Market Value or Premium and Ground Rent for leases

Cadastral and registration data produced in these 22 MZOs is replicated to the central office and made available to the public through the Uganda NLIS Public Portal.

Solution Specifics

The implementation of the current Uganda NLIS started in the II Phase and involved the migration of data from legacy systems, followed by the retirement of these systems

This process included data conversion from existing paper archives, resulting in the formation of a national register of 1.5 million registered properties, land parcels, and condominium units.

Six hundred (600) users in 22 MZOs and Ministry Headquarters work with the system, processing thousands of applications of different kinds. Some applications, such as mortgages, searches, and valuations, can be submitted and paid online via the Uganda NLIS Public Portal, without having to visit the MZO in person.

Uganda NLIS is based on the Innola® Framework that is built on open-source components and uses a data model based on the ISO LADM (Land Administration Data Model) standard. The effort and resources required for roll-out, training, maintenance, and upgrades are all eased by Uganda NLIS being a fully Web-based system; all client workstations in the offices only require a Web browser to be installed.

Integration with external systems is carried out through Uganda NLIS Open API using specially developed data exchange formats. All cadastral, registration, and valuation information is stored in a unified cadastral-registration database.

Implementation Results

Uganda NLIS is implemented in 22 regional registration offices (Ministry Zonal Office or MZO) with real-time data replication to the National Land Information Center (NLIC).

All data replicated to the Center can be browsed on the Uganda NLIS Public Portal.

Most of the transactions/applications should be submitted at MZO, submitter has to visit MZO. Mortgage, Land Valuation, Search transactions can be submitted and paid online on the Uganda NLIS Public Portal.

Figures:

600 active users at 22 MZOs and in the Center
4.3M transactions
1.5M properties — land parcels and condo units
1.5M rights — freeholds, leaseholds, sublease, mailos
300K encumbrances — mortgages, charges, caveates, court orders
