Land Administration in Ghana has over the years seen some interventions, including Phases I and II of the Land Administration Project, but these have had little impact on land title registration and on the turnaround time for service delivery. Analysts say a number of significant challenges exist that mar the efficiency of the land administration system in the country.

Alluding to the widely acknowledged equity vested in land, Dr Bawumia argued that leaving the land management system to remain in its current chaotic state will be inimical to the Akufo-Addo Government’s desire to move Ghana beyond aid, and informs the decision to digitise land title registration.

“There is capital value in land.  Let us create a transparent and progressive market for land. Let us securitize it to create wealth. We call on the efforts of all stakeholders to make this happen” Dr Bawumia urged the participants at the Forum. 

“Effective and efficient land administration is a collective effort. And we as a government reiterate our commitment to achieving total development of our country through the efficient use of one of our fundamental inputs to all socio-economic activities, land resources.”
