dc.description.abstractTraditional leaders from across Africa have embraced a joint ECA-AU and AfDB recommendation for large-scale land based investments (LSLBIs) to be made more sustainable and protective of the land rights of local communities. In a communiqué issued at the close of a two-day seminar organized in Accra by the Land Policy Initiative to sensitize traditional leaders on the risks and opportunities of LSLBIs, the leaders expressed their willingness to promote and protect land rights. The seminar targeted traditional leaders, given that land rights in most African communities are customary law based and are governed by traditional institutions. The leaders were therefore equipped with key principles for negotiating land investment deals that are sustainable and beneficial to local communities.en
