Phase I of the project “Land Registration System” is to be inaugurated by Egypt’s Prime Minister Dr. Ahmed Nazif on Tuesday July 10th.

The project aims to simplify registration procedures of land ownership thereby allowing for economic and social prosperity by encouraging development and investment and the issuance of credit against agricultural collateral.

The project’s first phase encompassed the establishment of an information center for corporeal registry at the Ministry of Justice. It also involved developing the corporeal registry offices operations, implementing an information network connecting these offices with the Cadastral Mapping Center of the Egyptian General Survey Authority, and launching an electronic portal for online land registration.

The project had kicked off in April 2005 upon signing a three-year trilateral cooperation protocol among Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation (MWRI) and Ministry of Justice.

The Land Registration System Project was initiated in March 2005 by a tri-lateral protocol between MCIT, the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, and the Ministry of Justice.
