Land registration and cadastre FAO works with the World Bank on the design, implementation and supervision of land registration projects. The Solutions for Open Source Software (SOLA) project aims to promote affordable IT-systems (Information Technology systems) that enable improvements in transparency and equity of governance. Through the development and re-use of open source software, it aims to make computerized cadastre and registration systems more affordable and sustainable in developing countries. Three countries (Samoa, Nepal and Ghana) have been identified for pilot implementation of the software. An E-learning Seminar on Open Source Software in Land Administration examined the use of open source software within land administration. A recording and presentations of this Open Source E-Learning session and seminar can be viewed online. The SOLA software Customisation version is now available from FLOSS-SOLA.org. This version has been used as the starting point for the 3 pilot customisations in Ghana, Nepal and Samoa and includes core generic functionality to support typical district land office registration and cadastre processes including access to and maintenance of a digital cadastre map, the record of rights and restrictions and a digital archive of land records.
