    Madagascar

    Two major innovations have inter alia emerged from the land reform in Madagascar: (i)

    decentralised land management through the creation of local land offices, and (ii)

    certification, which enables individuals to register private property provided the community

    agrees on the legitimacy of the claimed rights.

    Despite the political crisis and the withdrawal of international aid during this period (2009 -

    Ethiopia

    The urban population in Ethiopia is increasing rapidly. If managed proactively, urban population growth presents a huge opportunity to shift the structure and location of economic activity from rural agriculture to the larger and more diversified urban industrial and service sectors. If not managed proactively, rapid urban population growth may pose a demographic challenge as cities struggle to provide jobs, infrastructure and services, and housing.

    Ethiopia

    Ethiopia’s rapidly growing urban centers are facing an unprecedented level of demand for urban land
    and housing. How can Ethiopia supply urban land in an efficient and equitable fashion to accommodate
    growing demand from industries and individuals for diverse uses? How can existing residents and
    incoming migrants afford adequate shelter to survive and thrive in fast growing cities? The Ethiopia
    Urban Land Supply and Affordable Housing Study aims to provide practical solutions to these
    questions.

    Kenya

    Because of changes in some underlying factors, land is increasingly becoming a source of conflicts in Africa. We estimate the determinants of land conflicts and their impacts on input application in Kenya by using a recent survey of 899 rural households. We find that widows are about 13 percent more likely to experience pending land conflicts when their parcels are registered under the names of their deceased husbands than when titles are registered under their names.

    Ethiopia, Sub-Saharan Africa

    Although many African countries have adopted highly innovative and pro-poor land laws, lack of implementation hinders their potentially far-reaching impact on productivity, poverty reduction, and governance. To assess the effects of these pro-poor land laws and analyse whether the existing doubts are justified, this report draws on the experience of Ethiopia which, over a period of 2-3 years, registered the majority of rural lands in a rapid process at rather low cost.
