Gundelinda (Linda) Ringo joins us from the Kilimanjaro region after graduating with a Bachelor’s degree of Science in Geomatics 2015. She currently works as a surveyor and GIS expert with Geolink International. She has experience working with squatter areas and informal settlements and found that many citizens in these areas are not aware of their land rights and how to implement their land rights into practice. For example, community members need to know the land laws of buying or acquiring the land through consulting a professional land surveyor or a town planner. Linda is excited to help her community through Cadasta’s unique approach and develop an approach that favors the community’s land tenure systems.  More specifically, she sees ways in which the Kenyan Ministry of Lands is facing a challenge of encroachment and overlapping surveys that can hopefully be improved through new plotting and data strategies.
