Pilot study tracking implementation of AU land declaration to be unveiled in Ghana

Abstract

The pilot project was launched at an inception workshop in Accra, a day after Africa’s Land Commissions completed their own workshop on securing community land rights on the continent. It aims to develop a comprehensive baseline database that will form the basis for future tracking of progress in implementing the AU Declaration on land in Africa. In her opening remarks to the workshop, Janet Edeme, Head of Rural Division in the Department of Rural Economy and Agriculture at the AUC, said: “We recognize that we are to a large extent in unchartered waters given many of our member states have not monitored land governance processes in the past. Even at the global and regional levels, M&E of land governance is still a developing area.”
