Medeem Unlocking finance and agriculture, one parcel at a time

MEDEEM provides an innovative and affordable, private-sector driven solution to formalizing land rights for the world’s poor. Over one billion of the world’s poor lack the simple security of legally recognized land rights. The inability of the poor to gain formalized land rights remains a formidable barrier to economic progress and financial inclusion and has paralyzed an estimated 9.3 trillion dollars of untapped capital globally. Medeem’s innovative, technology driven solution, was created to solve a complex problem by a commercially run business opportunity.

Rural households pay for Medeem for Land Rights documentation. Our other revenue streams are: (1) the data (Geo-data, Individual and land data) on thousands of individuals in rural areas and (2) the licensing and franchising approach of our services.

Inclusiveness

We involve low-income groups as consumers. We involve low-income groups as producers. We involve low-income groups as distributors. We involve low-income groups as employees.

We work directly with small holder farmers and bring a solution to their door step. By securing their land, by buying into the process they now have a vested interest in the outcome. This brings long-term investment and development from the ground up.

Land insecurity is a global issue (primarily in developing countries). The impact of secure land rights has a ripple effect, by helping unlock finance and development.
