    Madagascar, Africa

    A well-functioning land administration and management system is crucial for Madagascar's economic and social future. Land is implicated in Madagascar's ongoing economic development and social transformation in many important ways, as key a factor in its quest for economic growth, urbanization, transparent decision-making on land-related foreign investments, environment protection, vibrant and sustainable rural communities, political stability, and social cohesion.

    Este artigo junta-se aos esforços de muitos outros africanos, entendendo-se por pobreza não só os níveis de rendimento por dia por pessoa, mas também a pobreza como ausência de poder nas relações intra-familiares, entre estas e os demais actores e entre a sociedade no seu todo e os recursos naturais de que se dispõe no Continente Africano.

    A Estratégia de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (ESAN II) resulta da evolução da

    ESAN I aprovada pelo Governo de Moçambique em 1998, através da Resolução Interna

    16/98. A ESAN I foi elaborada na sequência da Cimeira Mundial de Alimentação

    (CMA), realizada em Roma em 1996, quando os diversos países se comprometeram a

    reduzir a fome para metade até 2015. Este objectivo coincide com o Objectivo número

    um do Desenvolvimento do Milénio (ODM), aprovado na Cimeira do Milénio, em 2000.

    This report describes a pilot study of
    natural risk hazards in the peri-urban extension areas of
    the Dakar Metropolitan Area, Senegal. The area subject of
    this study stretches across 580 square kilometers, covering
    less than 1 percent of the national territory, but housing
    about 50 percent of Senegal's urban population. Much of

    is taking place beyond the boundaries of the Department of

    Tanzania

    In 2006, the government approved a
    national livestock policy based on the premise that the
    livestock industry has an important role to play in building
    a strong national economy and in the process, reducing
    inequalities among Tanzanians by increasing their incomes
    and employment opportunities. This report presents an
    analysis of rural livelihoods in Tanzania, with particular
    emphasis on the livestock sub-sector, smallholder

    This paper contributes to the
    long-standing debate on the merits of decentralized
    beneficiary targeting in the administration of development
    programs, focusing on the large-scale Malawi Farm Input
    Subsidy Program. Nationally-representative household survey
    data are used to systematically analyze the decentralized
    targeting performance of the program during the 2009-2010
    agricultural season. The analysis begins with a standard

    on Northern Uganda designed to inform the Peace, Recovery
    and Development Plan (PRDP). This second part of the study,
    undertaken during the second half of 2007 in the Lango and
    Acholi regions, builds on the first phase conducted in 2006
    in the Teso region. This second study has been designed to

    Africa, Rwanda

    Although increased global demand for
    land has led to renewed interest in African land tenure, few
    models to address these issues quickly and at the required
    scale have been identified or evaluated. The case of
    Rwanda's nation-wide and relatively low-cost land
    tenure regularization program is thus of great interest.
    This paper evaluates the short-term impact (some 2.5 years
    after completion) of the pilots undertaken to fine-tune the

    Ethiopia

    Over the coming decades, land policy and
    administration, for urban as well as rural areas, will be
    critical for Ethiopia's development. The vast majority
    of people making up the Federal Democratic Republic of
    Ethiopia's (FDRE) predominantly agricultural economy
    live in rural areas. Finally, land policies and
    administration can contribute significantly to the
    objectives of promoting gender equality and protecting

    South Sudan, Sudan

    South Sudan is a new country of 10.5
    million people that has just emerged from conflict and still
    facing challenges with recovery and development. Although
    economic disparities, political exclusion and deprivation in
    the distribution of political and economic power between the
    northern and southern parts of then united Sudan were often
    tendered as the proximal causes of the conflict, at the
    center of the prolonged civil war was the struggle for
