L'application de la loi foncière se heurte à quatre principales difficultés internes: a) l'inexistence des organismes d'exécution prévus par la loi, b) la délimitation inadéquate des territoires, c) l'implémentation de l'impôt foncier et d) le «couplage» entre les institutions coutumières et l'État. Enfin, la fragilité et la méconnaissance du droit coutumier ainsi que la vulnérabilité structurelle des communautés locales contribuent à la faiblesse de la gouvernance foncière en Guinée Bissau où la problématique foncière est caractérisée par l'absence de gouvernance depuis l'indépendance.
