The CaVaTeCo migration cannot proceed until the target data store structures are finalized. Therefore, the project team has been focussed on developing, testing, and documenting the Landano MVP so that we can complete the final step of this data migration project. We are closing out backlog issues for the "Grant land right", "Transfer land right", "Prove land right" use cases.In the meanwhile, we continue to meet weekly to map out the details of the CaVaTeCo data migration and related project management tasks. We also published a blog post update on this work in Mozambique.

The primary focus of the development work this past month was to establish a robust interface between Landano and the Arweave.org decentralized storage network to provide the ability to bundle, archive, link, and recall all the supporting documentation that is collected during the Mozambican CaVaTeCo processes. The team made the decision to refactor this interface into its own stand-alone architectural component (which we named Arkly) because the sheer volume of documents that are getting imported from CaVaTeCo into Landano requires the ability to fine-tune and upgrade the Arweave interface separately from Landano code. We also revisited the requirements analysis of the CaVaTeCo source documents to trim the list of migrated documents and data to the minimum set required to provide reliable evidence of the CaVaTeCo processes.

We have completed a technical architecture survey and identified the critical legal documents produced during the (various previous implementations of the) CaVaTeCo process for NFT minting on Cardano and bundling into archival packages.

One of our project team members, Maria Muianga, was interviewed in the well-known and widely read LandPortal.org newssite about the CaVaTeCo land right declaration process in our Mozambique pilot project. https://landportal.org/blog-post/land-scale/seeking-inclusive-economical-and-technical-solutions-sustainable-land

We formalized partnerships with two Ghana-based think tanks and public policy advocates to ensure our land right NFTs meet local legal requirements and that our project is positioned for on-the-ground impact and adoption (Institute for Liberty and Policy Innovation & Center for Coin Liberty). https://twitter.com/ILAPI_Institute/status/1544108660690980866?s=20&t=zUQBQcniTZCy8YNAkqsV5g and https://twitter.com/CoinLiberty_/status/1546199873267040256?s=20&t=zUQBQcniTZCy8YNAkqsV5g

This project was just funded. The team will hold its first kick-off planning meeting next week.

This month we completed the first phase of our Ghana pilot project. We will be posting a blog update about it next week at https://landano.io. We have helped a traditional chief map the boundary of his village as the first step in enabling him to meet his fiduciary obligations under the Ghana land act and make it easier for his people to manage, use, and re-use their land.

The focus in this first month is software architecture analysis/decisions and an end-user requirements workshop.
