Inaugural Conference on Land Policy in Africa to be held in Addis Ababa

Abstract

The inaugural Conference on Land Policy in Africa (CLPA) will be held from 11 to 14 November 2014, at the African Union Conference Center, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The overall goal of the Conference is to strengthen advocacy for comprehensive land policy, and to deepen capacity for land policy in Africa through improved access to knowledge and information. The CLPA is intended to have a catalytic effect in creating a platform for presenting research activities and focusing the attention of Governments, parliamentarians, farmers, researchers, civil society, private sector, land practitioners (surveyors, mapping companies, administrators), and development partners on the issues and status of land policy development and implementation in Africa.
