Product Description
STDM is a plugin for the open-source software QGIS. It is a land management tool, designed to provide support in developing countries, where there is scarce land information coverage in poor urban areas, rural areas, or in conflict/disaster emergencies. Its purpose is to represent people-land relationships without legal, technical, or formal constraints.
The tool also allows including documents that support social tenures, such as photographs, videos, sketches, maps, or other documents.

Vetted Performance Status
In 2018, in Beni, Democratic Republic of Congo, a pilot project was launched covering 3 of 7 cells of one of the 30 neighborhoods of the city, covering an area of 395 hectares with 1485 households/beneficiaries. STDM was successful at mapping and registering 400 parcels. Also, certificates of residence have been issued as a result of STDM application in Kwarasa, Mombasa, Kenya. A more comprehensive understanding of testing/pilot activities can be found at the manufacturer's blog, where several articles reporting activities with testing organizations, and the results are shown. Countries covered are Zambia, Kenya, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nepal, and others.
