Over 300 land surveyors from across Ghana are expected to converge in Cape Coast from August 27 to 29, 2025, to tackle the country’s growing land-related challenges, including illegal mining, ownership disputes, and sustainable land governance.
This was announced in a press release by the Land Surveying Division (LSD) of the Ghana Institution of Surveyors (GhIS) on Saturday, July 5, ahead of its 2025 Annual Conference themed,’ Enhancing Land Surveyors’ Competencies for Sustainable National Development in Ghana.’
The statement comes at a critical time when the demand for accurate land data and professional integrity is vital to achieving Ghana’s development priorities under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Vision 2030.
Chairperson, Surv. Dr. Tina Wemegah stressed the need for modern tools like GIS and spatial data to address national planning and environmental challenges.
Planning Chair, Surv. Prof. Prosper Laari, called for legal and technical training to curb land fraud and ensure transparency.
The three-day conference, set for Pempamsie Hotel, will include technical sessions, exhibitions, and site tours. It will also promote partnerships to modernize land surveying education and strengthen the profession’s role in national development.
