Strengthened capacity for improved governance of land tenure and natural resources by local government in partnership with non state actors in the Central Highlands of Angola
2020Angola is facing a delicate economic situation, due to the drop in crude oil prices, which is negatively affecting the balance of payment, and is leading to an end of subsidies, increased local prices, and devaluation of national currency. Effective recognition of customary land rights is still a challenge in Angola, as in many other African countries. Although customary land rights of the traditional rural communities are expressly recognized in the 2004 National Land Law, very few communities in Angola have been able to register their land. Rural communities’ claims for land regularization have been often treated with a mix of mistrust and discrimination: as a result, less than 0.1 percent of the territory is currently registered under customary land titles. -

Promoting the Provision of Legitimate Land Tenure Rights Using VGGT in the Context of National Food Security for conflict-displaced communities, including small‐scale rural farmers, pastoralists, and IDPs in the Greater Darfur region of the Sudan
2019The economy of Greater Darfur is heavily reliant on farming and livestock keeping, with more than 70 percent of the population relying on traditional and subsistence agriculture, the majority of whom are dependent on rain fed agriculture and pasture for both crop and livestock production. On-going conflict in Darfur leads to problems with law and order and displacement of rural farmers, and a change in migration patterns of nomadic pastoralists. Under the current state, neither the government or customary institutions, nor any other actors alone is able to bring a solution to the complex realities of land tenure governance in Darfur. The EULGP CI aims to support the Government of the Sudan in reforming its land laws to develop practical solutions to secure access to and use of cropland, livestock routes, range and pastures including the provision of adequate and practical dispute resolution mechanisms. The intervention also aims to assist state and locality level stakeholders to promote the provision for legitimate land tenure rights to conflict displaced communities including small‐scale rural farmers, pastoralists and IDPs in the Darfur region. *EULGP CI stands for European Union Land Governance Programme – Country Implementation -

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.
