FOREWORD
Following the launch of the Vision 2030 and Second Medium Term Plan (2013-2017) by His Excellency
the President, it was considered necessary to prepare Sector specific Plans that will guide the
implementation of the Vision. It is in this context that the Land Sector Plan has been prepared. It outlines
policies, strategies, programmes and projects that will be implemented during 2013-2017 plan period.
It further recognizes the achievements made as well as lessons learnt during the First Medium Term
Plan (2008-2012). In this regard, the activities identified in this plan will be accorded priority in resource
allocation and implementation.
The Sector Plan provides the framework for identification of programmes and issues that cut across
Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) for mainstreaming. It is in this regard, relevant ministries
were involved in the preparation of this document.
Development of a National Land Information Management System is essential for efficient planning,
monitoring and evaluation on the use of a Country’s resources. This will be the central focus of the
Ministry during the plan period. Towards this goal, the Land Sector will increase its efforts in developing a
computer-based information system to enhance the capture, management and analysis of data on land.
The establishment of the Geographic Information System (GIS) based Land Information Management
System will make the information available in a geo-referenced manner, hence more user-friendly. The
computerisation of land information will ultimately ensure proper back up for the Country’s land data,
so as to facilitate effective land administration and management for the current and future generations.
This plan will therefore facilitate improvement in the management of land as a basic resource that
supports the Country’s effort toward realization of Vision 2030.
