Applicability of knowledge innovation value chain model for the land administration system of municipality of Maputo in Mozambique

The knowledge innovation value chain (KIVC) model and land administration domain model (LADM) are applied for Mozambique. The study focus moving forward along the value chain using the conceptual components of LADM as the starting point to meet the societal and market demands by relevant ministry and Municipality of Maputo. The Municipality is developing an Integrated Municipal Management System (SIGEM). With rapid urban development, Municipality needs to innovate. Three innovation value chains are presented: (1) national-level portal for Urban Land Development integrating services; (2) municipal-level public access portal supporting several land administration functions such as Plots/Building purchase; (3) local infrastructural level concerning water and sanitation services, through an integrated, single-window online system supporting client-driven services. International standards, ICT and Geo-ICT must be considered to modernize the land administration arrangements. To make a successful application of the KIVC model, municipalities have to go for PPP mode projects.
