The OASL Mandate/ Revenue
types
The core mandate of the OASL is revenue
management of stool lands derived from Art. 267 (2,6-9) & OASL Act 1994 (Act 481)
Land Rents rural and urban
Timber Royalties
Mineral royalties
Other payments

The final picture (where we
want to be)
Develop a fully fledged operational Land
information system with capabilities to
perform related functions to bring the
rural economy close to the urban economy
Graphical presentation of attribute data to
answer our management questions ( who is
growing what crop, land sizes, farm rent
payable, best customers, where they are,
located who they are, estimate closely to
reality our budgets, help other
stakeholders agric coccobod LSA etc )

The global position (where
we are now)
Rural land is communal in character with weaknesses in
its Administration
Poor governance issues (accountability and
transparency) by both local gov’t and TAs
Lack of data ,records, poor mapping, revenue is low,
services are poor or non existent
Land Rights are not clarified
Land registration poor (deed registries too far title
registration absent)
Acquisition procedure not clear and not standardized
Boundaries are not demarcated, conflicts abound

Methodology & Technology
Establishment of Customary Land Secretariats
To promote and improve rural land
administration
To streamline land acquisition processes
Engender record keeping and generate data
Interface LSAs to facilitate title registration
Tenure security and increased revenue to
stakeholders

Project steps/ LAP1&2
interventions
Established Customary land Secretariats
Capturing of data by the farms survey and
mapping
Build a parcel’s database (rural cadastre)
conversion of existing data eg site plans and
manual data from cls and Land Registries
Application of geo-technology linking the
database to the spatial data
Queries & analysis
Assess correct ground rents/tribute increased
revenue to DAs and TAs
Land use information ( eg.type of crops grown)

Outcomes and impact
Expected revenue increase to TAs,
District, Assemblies means better
services education health , utilities,
environment
Other sectors to benefit eg Agric,
financial institutions

Strategic moves by OASL
Adopt Geospatial solutions
To address geospatial problems
Changes in the traditional economy
fall in gold prices -land rent
Urban rural gap to be closed
Realize our corporate mission of
poverty alleviation

Current constrains
Manpower training (time and cost of
staff training)
Initial capital for project (computer
hardware and soft ware)
Data conversion (conversion of manual
data to digital format)
Stakeholder understanding and interest
Another phase of (LAP 3)????????

The Conclusion
The pilot rural Parcel Right demarcation
project will be linked with the CLS concept
when it meets geospatial technology
The country will benefit from the global
digital opportunities to improve life of the
rural folk
Geo+tech =Geowealth
Geo tech marketers are welcome to do
business with the OASL 2015-2018
