Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureEU Transversal support to country implementation - The Niger 2019Population in the Niger lives mainly in rural areas and access to natural resources is their primary source of food and income. Recurring droughts and demographic pressure contributed to an increase in both frequency and intensity of conflicts between rural population, especially farmers and pastoralists. The legislative and regulatory framework is based on the current system of land and natural resource management, which integrates both customary and written law. The objective of the EULGP CI* is to contribute to secure pastoral land systems in the Niger by improving the recognition and taking into account livestock owners' land rights, securing the areas and resources reserved for livestock farming, preventing conflict related to the use of pastoral resources and strengthening the capacity of actions of the structures of the Code Rural in the domain of pastoral land and the development of Land Use Planning. *EULGP CI stands for European Union Land Governance Programme – Country Implementation

Projet d’Amélioration de la Gestion et de la Gouvernance Foncière au Burundi
2020Since 2008, Burundi has been engaged in a land reform process to address the challenges of conflict prevention related to access to land (and other natural resources). Considered precarious and the source of many conflicts, the customary approach to land tenure is gradually being replaced by a decentralized land management system that places the country’s 119 communes at the forefront of the reform. In April 2010, the Government of Burundi adopted a land policy letter providing the main strategic directions of intervention. This led to the promulgation of a new land code in August 2011, which, among other innovations, introduces land certificates issued by communal land services and prohibits any allocation or transfer of public lands prior to the establishment of a land title. Inventory of state lands has become the prerequisite for the implementation of the new land legislation. The reform process is increasingly helping to open up land services authorized by law to issue a “land certificate” after a participatory procedure involving the neighborhood concerned and local officials. It is expected that in the long run, the low cost required to obtain land certificates and the relative speed of the procedure will convince a large majority of Burundians to be under the legal protection of this certificate to enjoy a peaceful possession of their lands. Since August 2017, 50 municipalities (40 percent) had a land service. Land tenure security is also part of the land reform in Burundi, through inventory of public lands and registration of the same. -

Enhanced Capacity for Sustainable Land Administration and Management at National Regional and Chiefdom Levels
2020Land resources in the Kingdom of Eswatini are under increasing pressure, which is driven by a growing population, the rising demand for inter alia irrigated agriculture, industrial forestry, livestock grazing, biodiversity conservation and uncontrolled rural settlement. A key technical issue is the absence of an effective land administration and management system (cadastre) that can be used by all land-related organizations. Most land in Eswatini is held in trust by the King on behalf of all citizens; this form of customary tenure is quite secure but does not enable collateralization or the transfer of user rights. Under traditional management and administration, the record of land assignment rests within the memory of the Chief and his council members When land is allocated, the Chief or his representative walks the boundary and lays markers that delineate the area. These are normally respected by all members of the community. The grant of user rights to family groups by allocation is not documented and the land not delineated; this has created challenges for rural land administration and management.
