Prime Minister Judith Suminwa launched Mimpa on 12 November 2026, a virtual assistant from the Ministry of Land Affairs designed to facilitate access to land information. The tool uses artificial intelligence to improve legal information and help prevent land disputes, according to Desk Eco.
Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Judith Suminwa on Thursday 12 November 2026 launched Mimpa, an intelligent virtual assistant from the Ministry of Land Affairs designed to facilitate access to information on plots of land, registration certificates and land regulations. The project was initiated by Minister of Land Affairs O’Neige N’sele with the support of Congolese artificial intelligence expertise, according to the Ministry of Land Affairs.
Mimpa is intended in particular to enable citizens to learn about precautions to take before buying a plot of land, find out about the procedures for obtaining a registration certificate, and access legal and regulatory texts, O’Neige N’sele said. The tool is also intended to help distinguish the roles of the various land administration services.
Judith Suminwa presented access to reliable land information as an issue of legal security, conflict prevention and protection of citizens' rights. She also linked the launch of Mimpa to the Government Action Programme, which makes digital transformation a lever for good governance and improved public services.
The launch comes after that of land chambers in Chad to settle disputes, announced on 10 November.
