Les terres collectives font l’objet depuis 2014 de plusieurs débats autour de la réforme de leur gestion. Trois nouvelles lois les concernant depuis fin 2019 promeuvent leur privatisation, appelée aussi melkisation, en favorisant l’investissement agricole par les ayants droit et l’ouverture aux investisseurs privés. Cet article propose une analyse croisée du processus politico-juridique de cette réforme et des réalités locales envisagées en termes d’accaparement de terres par les ayants droit.

A importância deste relato de experiência ganha tamanho e notoriedade quando - em meio a coleta de dados para uma pesquisa de mestrado sobre políticas públicas de desenvolvimento territorial e seus arranjos institucionais – vem à tona uma série de elementos que estruturam o entendimento dos territórios, que são os seus conflitos, as relações de poder e as identidades. Neste caso, são questões referentes ao território Sudoeste Paulista, que se situa entre o Norte Pioneiro do Paraná e o Vale do Ribeira.

The Panguna mine on the Pacific island of Bougainville is one of the largest copper and gold deposits in the world. 

The mine was also at the center of a decade-long civil war fought between the Bougainville Revolutionary Army and the Papua New Guinea Defense Force in the 1990s. The conflict cost as many as 15,000 lives and displaced 40,000 of the island’s 200,000 inhabitants.

This brochure presents the approach and core activities of GIZ Global Program on Responsible Land Policy (GPRLP). The GPRLP is active in Benin, Ethiopia, Laos, Madagascar, Paraguay, Peru and Uganda. In each country, a context specific approach in line with the global GPRLP concept aims at improving the access to land as a core condition for combating poverty and hunger in rural areas for specific population groups, particularly women and socially marginalised groups.

This brochure provides an overview of the Global Programme Responsible Land Policy (GPRLP) implemented by the German Development Cooperation Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). It points out the relevance of land rights for reducing hunger and conflicts as well as the potential for achieving environmental, social and economic development.

This brochure briefly summarizes the systematic approach of the Global Programme Responsible Land Policy implemented by the German Development Cooperation Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and provides examples.

Over the past two decades, “illegal” natural resource extraction has become a significant driver of environmental change and social conflict across the Global South. In response, numerous Sub-Saharan African states have engaged in governance reforms that heed calls to securitize – or, establish and consolidate state control over – natural resources. In Ghana, securitization has served to entrench the informal economy as domestic producers, marginalized in the process of reform, continue to utilize non-state institutions to maintain access.

This toolkit aims to offer concrete tools for practitioners to engage with land rights on different levels. This toolkit intends to offer an introduction to different tools that can be used. Furthermore, the aim is to offer clear guidance on how to implement the tools.
