A two-day seminar to sensitize African traditional leaders on the risks and opportunities of large-scale land based investments kicked off in Accra, Ghana, with more than 50 traditional authorities and community leaders from across Africa. Organized by the Land Policy Initiative (LPI), the event will equip traditional leaders with key principles for negotiating land investment deals that are sustainable and beneficial to African people and communities. The focus on traditional leaders is a strategic move. It is important to engage traditional leaders in such activities because land rights in most African communities are customary law based, and are governed by traditional institutions. The seminar is part of several activities carried out by the LIP under the auspices of the AUC, AfDB and ECA, to provide guidance to African governments, traditional leaders and other stakeholders on how to make land related investments benefit local people and economies.
