After success in Antigua and Barbuda in 2006, during 2007, SEDI will work towards the replication of this initiative in other countries of the region.

The implementation of a high-technology project for cadastre and land property registry in Antigua and Barbuda, consolidated in 2006, became the first successful result of an agreement between the American Company Stewart International and the Executive Secretariat for Integral Development of the Organization of American States (SEDI-OAS).

Thanks to the SEDI-OAS alliance, since 2005, Stewart has successfully implemented in Antigua and Barbuda a geographic information system (GIS) which allows mapping and digitization of cadastre land title registries. This system has updated, increased the transparency, and made more efficient the government's registration system compared to the work based on physical files.

Through the GIS, governmental officials are able to access high resolution aerial photographs of the whole land, maintaining, at the same time, a data base of every registered land. The application of this system has positively changed the process through which the government maintains public registries, surveys and maps, and has updated the tax collection process resulting in an increase of the collection of land tax. The benefits of this GIS also extend to other government authorities who, besides looking up the maps and their related data bases, may also integrate more information such as emergency routes, location of piping, street lighting, light poles, etc.

Antigua's Prime Minister, Mr. Baldwin Spencer, considered the application of this technology an important step in his mission of integrating e-government programs, following the objective of increasing the government's transparency and efficiency.
