DESCRIPTION:In a context where only 2% of Cameroon’s territory is formall
 y titled and where traditional cadastral systems remain fragmented and dis
 connected from local realities\, the commune of Soa has developed an innov
 ative multi-purpose cadastre. This project combines:\n\nRemote mapping thr
 ough OpenStreetMap\,\nParticipatory mapping with traditional chiefs and lo
 cal communities\,\nField parcel surveys and infrastructure inventories con
 ducted by local and international students (in partnership with Topo Sans 
 Frontières / ISTAO) using KoboToolbox.\nThrough the Simplified Unique Dat
 a Model (MUDS) and the operationalization of the Integrated Fiscal Partner
 ship (PFI)\, over 25\,000 points (buildings\, parcels\, and networks) were
  collected. This has enabled an estimated annual fiscal potential of 2.5 b
 illion FCFA for the commune.\n\nThis “low-tech”\, collaborative approa
 ch\, rooted in the African context\, aligns directly with the recent refor
 ms of the Ministry of State Property\, Cadastre and Land Affairs (MINDCAF)
  on the mapping of the national and public domains. By integrating multi-s
 ource data\, particularly from OpenStreetMap\, and accepting differentiate
 d levels of precision\, the model transforms raw geographic data into a te
 chnical\, legal\, and fiscal interoperable instrument. It moves away from 
 the fragmented “case-by-case” approach to offer a consolidated databas
 e structured around three complementary pillars: technical (securing the p
 ublic domain)\, fiscal (mobilizing local revenues)\, and legal (valorizing
  the land registry).\n\nThe session will be structured around four key pil
 lars: the bottom-up participatory approach\, the pragmatic data model (MUD
 S)\, the concrete fiscal impact through the PFI\, and the replicability of
  the model in other African countries.
