This document summarizes a meeting about land governance. It discusses the Voluntary Guidelines on Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests (VGGT) and how open source software like SOLA and Open Tenure can help implement the VGGT. Open Tenure is a mobile application that allows communities to record their own tenure rights to strengthen local governance. It has been implemented in several countries. SOLA works with Open Tenure to store and manage community tenure claims recorded in the field. The document outlines the benefits of these tools, such as increasing transparency, engagement, and protecting community rights.

- 6. SOLA Open Source Software Tenure recording and mapping using mobile devices Provides community access to & community processing of tenure records & mapping collected using Open Tenure System Admin functionality for SOLA software Supports registration & cadastre functions in Land Office environment Supports State land administration including acquisition & disposal Supports systematic (first time) registration Land Administration Community Tenure Recording
- 7. Open Tenure • Mobile application for Android and iOS devices • Allows citizen and community recording of tenure rights (crowd sourcing) • Record claimant details, capture boundary information and collect scanned documents and photos to support claim • Supports fit for purpose mapping • Claims uploaded to the Community Server for moderation • Field testing completed in 2015 (Cambodia & Guatemala) • Also implemented in Nigeria (Reserve Mapping, Certificate Capture & Systematic Registration) & Uganda (Customary Registration)
- 8. What is Open Tenure ? • Strengthens local tenure governance in the frame of the VGGT • Helps communities to record tenure relationships existing in their community • Uses tablet devices and Open Tenure open source software to record in the field a range of tenure relationships and map them using satellite imagery and GPS measurements • Uses a web based Community Server to store Open Tenure claims from Community Recorders and to update those claims when they are accepted and recognized by the community Community Server Optional Backend (e.g. SOLA) PCs Mobile devices Network Cloud Mobile application Community Web Site
