Computerized Land Registry in Haiti

General

The project aims to secure private land titles registered in the handwritten registers centralized at the Direction Générale des Impôts in Port-au-Prince, in Haiti. The implementation of a computerized land registry system aims to facilitate the registration of notarial records and the search and identification of land titles by the general public. The activities of the project include: 1) digitizing and indexing over one million pages; 2) integrating the data in a database; 3) archiving manuscripts in a safe environment. The direct beneficiaries are the staff already in place, the national institutions responsible of land reform in Haiti, as well as 700 notaries and 600 surveyors operating on Haitian territory.
