• Guinea launches Landaya digital platform for business administrative documents
• System streamlines certificates, authorizations and payment tracking
• Platform aims to boost transparency and state revenue collection

Guinea’s Ministry of Commerce, Industry and SMEs on Jan. 12 launched Landaya, a digital platform for managing administrative documents for the private sector.

The platform allows companies to apply for and track key documents, including certificates, attestations and authorizations required to start, operate or expand their businesses. The system is intended to speed up processing times and simplify administrative procedures.

“It is a strategic tool for Guinean companies,” the ministry said on its Facebook page, adding that the platform would improve transparency and strengthen state revenue collection.

Landaya also standardizes and automates procedures, centralizes administrative data and enhances coordination between public authorities and the private sector, the ministry said.

The platform replaces Plaged, which was launched in November 2024 and had been used for the same procedures. The Ministry of SMEs did not explain the decision to change systems after just over a year.

Authorities say Landaya will also improve oversight of administrative procedures and related payments, helping to reduce unrecorded applications and payments made outside official channels.
