The Ministry of Lands, in collaboration with the Ministry of Information and the Public Private Partnership Commission, has launched a digital platform to manage land issues in Blantyre.
The Land Information Management System (LIMS) aims to simplify land transactions and improve efficiency in the land sector.
Minister of Information and Digitalisation, Moses Kunkuyu, has encouraged land sector staff to embrace the online platform, highlighting its potential to streamline land management.
Director of LIMS, Julius Chisi, explained that the system will enable easy tracking of land transactions, reducing the challenges associated with paper documents.
Land officer Isaac Madeya from Phalombe welcomed the digitalisation initiative, citing the difficulties of managing paper documents.
The implementation of LIMS is part of the Digital Malawi Acceleration Project, funded by the World Bank.
The introduction of LIMS is expected to benefit various stakeholders, including landowners, investors, and government agencies. With a digital platform in place, Malawi can enhance its business environment and attract more investment.
The success of LIMS will depend on effective implementation, user adoption, and ongoing support.
