    The Land Portal Foundation's 2023 Annual Report presents a comprehensive overview of our efforts and accomplishments in transforming land data governance worldwide. 

    Our report highlights three fundamental pillars that have guided our work: Inform, Open, and Debate. Through these pillars, we've expanded our global database of land and property rights programs, enhanced land governance data management, supported data literacy and advocacy, and facilitated critical debates on land governance issues.

    Comment saisir dans sa globalité la dimension juridique se rapportant aux notions de propriété et de foncier au Maroc ? Vaste et complexe démarche qui englobe de nombreux aspects et disciplines, que ce soit à travers l’étude des régimes fonciers, des pratiques immobilières ou encore des politiques publiques mises en place par les différentes autorités du pays. Cette transversalité se retrouve tout d’abord dans une tentative de définition générale qui permettrait d’englober la totalité des caractéristiques afférentes à notre sujet : droit foncier ou droit de la propriété ?

    Des facteurs variés tels que les politiques publiques en faveur du relogement des populations démunies, la promotion de la privatisation des droits fonciers agricoles, ainsi que plus généralement la croissance économique ont favorisé l’étalement urbain dans les principales villes du Maghreb dont Meknès au Maroc. Cette urbanisation s’intensifie au détriment des terres à fort potentiel agronomique malgré les lois pour la préservation des terres agricoles. À Meknès, les agriculteurs familiaux situés en périphérie urbaine ont fourni la grande majorité du foncier constructible.

    Au Maroc, un intérêt accru est porté aujourd’hui aux soulaliyates  [1] qui sont des femmes appartenant à des collectivités dites ‘ethniques’ et revendiquant le droit de bénéficier — comme les hommes — des terres collectives de ces dernières. L’exclusion des femmes de ce droit n’est pas un phénomène nouveau.

    Land corruption risks in the green energy sector
    Policy Papers & Briefs
    November, 2023
    Global

    Green energy (and/or renewable energy) requires large areas of land to operate, often more so than energy generated from fossil fuels. The acquisition of land comes with accompanying corruption risks which can lead to challenges such as land grabbing and illegal displacement of communities. To help mitigate corruption risks and their consequences, strong regulatory oversight and rigorous licensing requirements are needed, as well as transparency and community-based approaches to ownership of green energy projects.

    Kenya

    This case study presents the unique example of pastoralist communities in Kenya who had traditionally been able to rely on their customary land governance systems to ensure their access to grazing land and to help them sustain their livelihoods in the face of drought. However, land laws that were passed by the colonial and post-colonial administrations in Kenya progressively replaced customary structures and practices with artificial formal/legal structures that bore no connection to the communities’ customs.

    Africa, Malawi

    This paper explores household variation in land tenure security and drought shocks across villages to investigate the extent to which land tenure systems matter in households’ capacity to cope with adverse impacts of weather shocks for agricultural dependent households in rural Malawi. Our findings reveal that land tenure security cushions the effects of drought regimes on food security. Further, we establish access to credit facilities for farm investment purposes as the underlying channel that mediates the impact of drought shocks on food insecurity.
