Flagship Collaborative Initiatives

Our operations combine field coordination, property data management, bill delivery, payment follow-ups, revenue collection support, and performance monitoring.
Traditional Assembly Methods
vs. The NECS Audited Framework
Why leading Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies across Ghana are replacing obsolete manual methods with sovereign geospatial data infrastructure.
Property Roll & Parcel Cadastre
Manual Paper Registers & Outdated Maps
40% to 60% of newly built structures and extensions remain entirely uncaptured, creating persistent revenue deficits across the municipality.
100% Geocoded GIS Cadastral Vectorization
Every physical building, parcel boundary, and commercial unit is mapped with high-precision GPS coordinates and integrated with the national addressing grid.
Valuation & Fee-Fixing Model
Discretionary & Flat-Rate Estimates
Lack of empirical building classification and unindexed commercial permits, often resulting in ratepayer disputes and prolonged arrears.
Act 936 Algorithmic Rate Schedules
Statutory property rating matrices compliant with Ghana Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936) § 144, backed by audited photographic evidence.
Demand Notice & Bill Dispatch
Untracked Paper Invoices
Physical bills frequently lost, delayed, or delivered to wrong occupants with zero digital delivery proof or timestamp audit trails.
QR-Verifiable Digital & Printed Notice Delivery
Geo-stamped bill distribution with digital recipient signature capture, automated SMS dispatch, and instant online verification.
Revenue Collection & Remittance
Physical Cash Collected in the Field
Severe cash leakage risk, handwritten paper receipts, and delayed bank deposit turnaround that compromises Assembly liquidity.
0% Cash Handling • Direct MMDA Bank Flow
100% direct bank account deposit, GhIPSS e-settlement, and official Mobile Money rails with instant automated treasury reconciliation.
Leadership & Public Sector FAQs
Essential statutory, legal, and operational questions answered for Municipal Chief Executives, Coordinating Directors, and Development Partners.
Yes. The Assembly maintains unencumbered, sovereign ownership of all geocoded cadastral shapefiles, property valuation registers, ratepayer ledgers, and photographic records. NECS operates strictly as a technical and operational execution partner. All data is handed over in non-proprietary industry formats (PostGIS, GeoJSON, Shapefiles, and encrypted CSV ledgers) directly to the MMDA's MIS and Planning Directorate.
