Abstract

This project supported the Land Data Digitization for Inclusive Growth Project in Bangladesh by transforming paper-based land records into structured and accessible digital information. The work involved data entry, verification, quality control, standardization, and metadata management using a web-based system. More than 12,500 land records were processed, with 98% passing quality checks. The experience demonstrates how accurate and standardized digital land data can improve transparency, accessibility, government planning, and inclusive land administration while reducing errors and disputes.
