The Congolese government has been exploring new avenues to concretize its E-foncier digital land registry project, in the pipeline for years. On January 29, 2025, the Congolese Ministers of Land Affairs and Telecommunications met with representatives from Oxinus Holding, an Abu Dhabi-based firm specializing in digital products, software, and hardware. In Africa, Oxinus Holding currently operates in Tanzania and Kenya. 

The meeting aimed to assess technological solutions for integrating the "e-Foncier" project into the country’s land management system. E-foncier is a blockchain-based program that should help secure land data and prevent fraud in the DRC. Oxinus’ solution could work even in areas lacking internet connectivity, claimed Hakan Saad, one of the firm's representatives.

While no agreement has been announced so far, the next steps should involve in-depth technical discussions between the ministries and Oxinus to assess the project’s feasibility. This cautious approach comes amidst questions about a previous partnership.

On August 2, 2022, the Congolese government inked a 15-year public-private partnership with Luxembourg-based eProseed to implement the e-Foncier project, aimed at securing the cadastre and modernizing land services. Valued at $140 million, with no debt to the state, the deal included building a "Land Tower" in Kinshasa to house the Ministry of Land Affairs and a national cadastre digitization center. The Gombe land district was tapped as the pilot site, with the first digitized title slated for December 2022. The e-Foncier project is part of ‘Horizon 2025’, the country’s digital plan that aims to resolve land conflict by securing land/property titles. Despite these ambitious plans, recent updates on the eProseed collaboration have been scarce, prompting speculation about the project's status.
