The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is an innovative and independent U.S. foreign aid agency that is helping lead the fight against global poverty.
Created by the U.S. Congress in January 2004 with strong bipartisan support, MCC has changed the conversation on how best to deliver smart U.S. foreign assistance by focusing on good policies, country ownership, and results. MCC provides time-limited grants promoting economic growth, reducing poverty, and strengthening institutions. These investments not only support stability and prosperity in partner countries but also enhance American interests. With cost-effective projects, a lean staff, and an evidence-based approach, MCC is a good investment for the American people.

Guidelines for Group Land Rights in Communal Areas
This manual of guidelines is distributed by the Ministry of Lands and Resettlement to guide Communal Area residents and land authorities about group land rights. This guidance is official. This means that advice should be followed – as relevant to the case in point. Although formal provision for group land rights is new, the idea of holding rights collectively is well known in Communal Areas. Under customary norms, many residents already hold rights to a particular area not as individuals but as members of families and communities (or ‘groups’).
Agriculture Project/Land Access and Management Activity
General
The Land Access and Management Activity has two sub-activities: Community-based Rangeland and Livestock Management (CBRLM), focusing on promoting sustainable land management and grazing activities; and Communal Land Support (CLS), aimed at improving tenure security and land governance. The primary objectives of CLS are: (1) to empower residents and landholders at the village/local level to actively and effectively participate in the use and management of their land resources in Namibia's Northern Communal Areas; and (2) to improve the administration and management of communal lands.
Land Management for Investment Project
General
The Land Management for Investment Project is expected to improve Cape Verde’s investment climate by refining the legal, institutional and procedural environment to create conditions for increased reliability of land information, greater efficiency in land administration transactions, and strengthened protection of land rights; developing and implementing a new land information management system; and clarifying parcel rights and boundaries on targeted islands with high investment potential. The project supports the Government of Cape Verde in creating a single reliable and easily accessible source of land rights and land boundaries information, which is expected to strengthen Cape Verde’s investment climate for large and small investors and reduce land registration time and costs. The project is comprised of two activities: •Legal and Institutional Foundations Activity •Rights and Boundaries Activity
Irrigation and Water Resources Management Project/Land Tenure Security Activity
General
The Land Tenure Security Activity is part of the Irrigation and Water Resource Management Project. It provide support to identify and secure land rights, including existing rights and those of farmers benefiting from the project, and to mitigate conflicts that might arise from ambiguities regarding property rights, increasing land values, and increased demand for land. The project will assist in the development of community-based land allocation procedures to assure community participation and equitable allocation of land in the project area. The capacity of local institutions responsible for allocating and managing land rights will also be strengthened.
