This report on the State of Land Information in Mozambique underscores the country's advancements in integrating land rights into the national policy framework. It acknowledges the legal recognition of certain forms of land occupation and the protection of rights without formal documentation. Despite progress, challenges persist in data accessibility and transparency. The report traces the historical focus on titling land for investors and the shift in 2013 towards systematic titling for communities, falling short of the targeted 5 million parcels by 2018. The government's efforts to digitise and share data face obstacles such as technical shortcomings, data integrity issues, and fragmentation. The report highlights the importance of managing data effectively, citing international indexes that reveal Mozambique's low scores in land information openness. The lack of a centralised agency for data storage and public availability is noted, emphasising the need for improvements in the country's land data management.
