This paper explores Ghana’s two-decade journey in developing a digital land information system (LIS), exemplified by Ghana Enterprise Land Information System (GELIS) and Enterprise Land Information System (ELIS). Despite advancements by Ghana’s Lands Commission, manual processes persist and coexist with digital ones. Our study uses a qualitative approach to assess the effectiveness of the LIS implemented in Accra. This study found that Accra’s LIS is highly aligned with clear institutional mandates, roles, and responsibilities, as well as the availability of laws and policies to support analogue-to-digital conversion. Furthermore, a robust approach to protecting the data, operating system, and software underpins the system. Subsequently, the integration of a digital LIS has enhanced service delivery and accountability. Nonetheless, Accra’s LIS is still at the beginning of a comprehensive learning and development curve. Sustaining the LIS requires furtherance in the implementation plan, funding, law implementation, ICT strategy, divisional integration, work processes, data quality, and communication strategy. These findings will inform the next steps of improvement for Accra’s LIS and guide its nationwide scaling, contributing to discussions on technology acceptance dynamics in predominantly analogue environments.

驾驭数字化转型：加纳开发数字土地信息系统的历程

本文探讨了加纳发展数字土地信息系统（LIS）的二十年历程，以加纳企业土地信息系统（GELIS）和企业土地信息系统（ELIS）为例。尽管加纳土地委员会取得了进步，但手动流程仍然存在并与数字流程共存。我们的研究采用定性方法来评估阿克拉实施的 LIS 的有效性。这项研究发现，阿克拉的 LIS 与明确的机构授权、角色和责任以及支持模数转换的法律和政策高度一致。此外，保护数据、操作系统和软件的强大方法是系统的基础。随后，数字 LIS 的集成增强了服务交付和问责制。尽管如此，阿克拉的 LIS 仍处于全面学习和发展曲线的开始阶段。维持 LIS 需要在实施计划、资金、法律实施、ICT 战略、部门整合、工作流程、数据质量和沟通战略方面取得进一步进展。这些发现将为阿克拉 LIS 的下一步改进提供信息，并指导其在全国范围内的扩展，有助于对主要模拟环境中的技术接受动态的讨论。
