Putting Land Rights on the Map

Founded in 2015, Cadasta develops and promotes the use of simple digital tools and technology to help partners efficiently document, analyze, store, and share critical land and resource rights information. By creating an accessible digital record of land, property, and resource rights, we help empower individuals, communities, organizations, governments, and businesses with the information they need to make data-driven decisions and put vulnerable communities and their needs on the map.

 

Our Vision

Our Vision is to build a world where even the most marginalized individuals and communities can benefit from the opportunities afforded by secure land and resource rights.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to be the leading provider of technical tools and services to support the documentation of land and resource rights to build stronger, more sustainable communities.

Our Team

We are a team of land rights experts, technologists, and sustainable development professionals guided by Board Members and Strategic Advisors.

It’s in the Name

“Cadasta” is derived from the term “cadastre” which is defined by the International Federation of Surveyors as “a parcel based, and up-to-date land information system containing a record of interests in land (e.g. rights, restrictions and responsibilities).”
