Swedesurvey assisted in the development of a national cadastral system in Mozambique in a ten-year programme, funded by Sida, of institutional cooperation with the Direcção National de Geografia e Cadastro. Capacity building was a major component and it included the upgrading of the curriculum at the Technical Training School. In another project, financed by the World Bank, Swedesurvey staff conducted a comparative study, on behalf of the Municipal Council of Maputo, of real and documented land use and land occupation in one of the suburbs. The project also provided legal support to develop urban land management.
