Property Tax Reform & Cadastre Modernization
Tax property fairly in systems where the records lie.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
Donor-funded property tax reform pilots succeed in three districts and fail at scale, and the system cannot explain why one works and the other does not. Institutions that cannot trace money to outcomes lose the argument for both the money and the autonomy. You leave with a design canvas, a delivery chain and a measurement system for your own property tax reform priority — built against your real constraints.
Context
Why this matters now
Capability
What you will be able to do
- Build property tax reform delivery and measurement systems that move outcomes, not activity.
- Commission property tax reform evaluation and read it critically — attribution, gaming and all.
- Navigate the political economy of property tax reform reform without abandoning rigour.
- Manage property tax reform programmes with fiduciary discipline and visible value for money.
The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
The Dam at Two-Thirds
A flagship project at a devolved county government is two-thirds complete when independent review finds the hydrology assumptions optimistic and a cheaper alternative existed. Cancelling embarrasses the government; completing it strains the debt ceiling.
Your decision: Complete, redesign, or pause — and design the public accountability for whichever you choose, property tax reform evidence included.
IPAT Data Lab™
A a ministry of finance cannot trace its spending to outcomes citizens feel.
Dataset: Synthetic expenditure and outcome panel for a ministry of finance, with leakage and coverage gaps.
Your task: Trace money to outcomes, find the value-for-money gaps, and design the dashboard that changes decisions.
An expenditure-to-outcome dashboard and findings memo.
Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
