Moves to Safeguard Indigenous Malawians' Rights to Land

The Lands, Housing and Urban Development ministry is implementing the Land Information Management System (LMIS) with support from the World Bank to improve the efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of land administration services, and to ensure transparency and accountability in all land transactions.

The new laws also want to expose individuals who used their wealth and money to push indigenous Malawians to the sidelines by buying plots in cities and major towns across the country.

The project comes hot on the heels of the implementation of the new land-related laws, which President Lazarus Chakwera okayed to address challenges affecting buying land and ownership. The government plans to digitalise land information as a measure to achieve equitable land distribution in Malawi.
