    As part of the SIDS Solutions Forum, 30-31 August 2021, FAO collected innovations and creative digital technologies that respond to local problems and challenges. This flyer presents SOLA -- Solutions for Open Land Administration. SOLA is an open-source software for land title registration and cadastral mapping. SOLA software has two major packages. The first one aims at land administration with a registry, state land, and systematic registration. The other is an open community tenure which directly supports data collection from the community, such as land claims and land contracts. The software can be used to map the land through geo-localization.

    This guide is written for people who work in land administration and all those with an interest in land, land tenure and their governance. Although much has been written about the importance of good governance in achieving development goals, there is comparatively little material on good governance in land tenure and administration. Failings in governance have adverse consequences for society as a whole. By contrast, good governance can help achieve economic development and the reduc tion of poverty. Good governance matters.
