    Mauritania

    Le Cadre d’analyse de la gouvernance foncière (CAGF) est un outil de diagnostic permettant d’évaluer le cadre juridique, les politiques et les pratiques en matière de gestion foncière et d’utilisation des terres.

    Ce cadre conceptuel a été élaboré par la Banque mondiale depuis 2008 dans le cadre d’un partenariat avec la FAO, ONU- Habitat, le FIDA, l’IFPRI, l’Union africaine et des agences de développement bilatérales, comme outil de diagnostic permettant d’évaluer le statut de la gouvernance foncière d’un pays.

    Botswana, Africa

    Botswana represents one of the few development success stories in Sub-Saharan Africa. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth averaged almost 9 percent between 1960 and 2005, far above the Sub-Saharan Africa average. Real GDP per capita grew even faster, averaging more than 10 percent a year -- the most rapid economic growth of any country in the world. The crucial question is: Why has Botswana grown the way it has done, and what lessons does it offer?

    Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa

    This article addresses the problems of
    governance in municipalities in Africa. The concern has been
    to adapt traditional systems of governance to the needs of
    modern urban management. This article investigates the need
    for a new analysis of the twin problems of urban land and
    urban management in sub-Saharan Africa. This need is based
    on the apparent paradox between the dynamic, city-creating
    activities of civil societies in all of these countries, and

    Sri Lanka

    This report provides an integrated view
    of Sri Lanka's long term development challenges for
    sustainable growth and poverty reduction. Sri Lanka's
    substantial achievements in human development are well
    known. In several dimensions - such as universal primary
    enrollment, gender equality, infant and maternal mortality -
    the country is well positioned to meet the Millennium
    Development Goals (MDGs). In addition, housing conditions

    Urbanization, which is almost completed
    now in developed countries and even in Latin America, is now
    proceeding in much of Asia at an unprecedented rate. Many of
    the countries in the region have up to half their population
    now living urban lifestyles and increasingly also living in
    urban regions. The forms that urbanization is taking in the
    developing countries, however, are problematic. Towns and
    cities that were never planned to have large populations are

    The recent surge in food and fuel prices
    has prompted countries with high dependence on food imports
    to try and lock in future food supplies through direct
    investment in agricultural production in other countries.
    The price surges also led to a wave of proposals to invest
    in biofuels investments in agricultural land. While such
    investment can provide large benefits, it also carries
    considerable risks both to investors and citizens in the

    Kosovo

    Kosovo's economic growth in the
    past decade has been solid, yet, with a gross domestic
    product (GDP) per capita of 1,760, the country remains one
    of the poorest in Europe. The end of the conflict, output
    was growing at double-digit rates, driven by the
    donor-funded reconstruction efforts. Since 2005, annual
    growth has decelerated to below 5 percent. However, the
    other countries in Southeast Europe have been growing
