    Liberia

    To implement the vision of fostering
    economic development, social equity, and a transparent and
    effective government, the Government of Liberia has outlined
    key transitions that need to be accomplished. These include
    the development of infrastructure (roads, electricity),
    schools, job creation and transition from war, civil
    conflict and social polarization to a well functioning

    Mauritania

    Mauritania is a vast country covering
    over a million square kilometers, where a relatively small
    population of 3.5 million people lives on just one-fifth of
    the country’s total area. With extremely advanced
    desertification, the country is particularly vulnerable to
    the impact of climate change and other external shocks. The
    main sources of income in Mauritania are agriculture, which
    is either irrigated or rain-fed, and livestock. This is

    Nigeria

    When it comes to strategy, the Chinese
    have a saying: 'think big, start small, but move
    fast.' This has been our guiding philosophy for the
    pilot land reforms of the World Bank-Department of
    International Development (DFID) sub national Investment
    Climate Program (ICP) in Nigeria. The challenge was to find
    a 'small' reform entry point from which to
    'move fast' on this sensitive and difficult topic,

    Real gross domestic product (GDP)
    expanded by 6.7 percent in 2013, a modest deceleration from
    the 7 percent recorded in the previous year, but well above
    the average 4.9 percent rate of growth recorded over the
    last ten years. The economy benefited from strong growth in
    the agriculture (rebounding from last year's drought),
    mining and services sectors, which largely offset weaker
    activity in fishing activity. A continuation of these

    Benin

    Benin has made substantial progress over
    the past decade in reinforcing macroeconomic stability,
    which has laid the foundation for modest but accelerating
    growth. After averaging less than 3.7 percent from
    2007-2011, GDP growth rose to 5.4 percent in 2012 and
    reached 5.6 percent in 2013. Growth is expected to remain
    strong at 5.5 percent in 2014. Benin s enhanced growth
    performance has been supported by ongoing efficiency

    Liberia

    In a watershed moment for land rights in Liberia and across Africa, President George Weah on Sept. 19 signed into law a land reform bill that extends land rights to millions of rural Liberians.

    The Land Rights Act ensures, for the first time, that the land rights of rural Liberians are recognized, protected, and guaranteed by law – an essential ingredient for these communities to achieve secure land rights. Under the previous land tenure system, as much as 80 percent of Liberians lived without legally recognized rights to land.

    Regional dynamics in pilot certification projects in Côte d'Ivoire

    Peer-reviewed publication
    August, 2021
    Côte d'Ivoire

    Since 2000, many African countries have adopted land tenure reforms that aim at comprehensive land registration (or certification) and titling. Much work in political science and in the advocacy literature identifies recipients of land certificates or titles as ‘programme beneficiaries’, and political scientists have modelled titling programmes as a form of distributive politics. In practice, however, rural land registration programmes are often divisive and difficult to implement. This paper tackles the apparent puzzle of friction around rural land certification.
