Winning the fight against Corruption in the Land Sector: Sustainable Pathway for Africa’s Transformation
The 3rd edition of the Conference on Land Policy in Africa will be organised by the African Land Policy Centre which is a joint initiative of the African Union Commission, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, and the African Development Bank. The Conference is a policy and learning event whose goal is to deepen capacity for land policy in Africa through improved access to knowledge and information on land policy development and implementation. This Conference follows the second Conference held in November 2017 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia that was attended by close to 450 participants.
The week-long conference offers an interesting mix of plenary and technical sessions and workshops, a trade exhibition and a variety of side events and social functions. The technical programme will consist of over 500 presentations within the field of surveying, including best practice and new research. Some 1700 participants and 40 exhibiters are expected.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an urgent call for action by countries to preserve our oceans and forests, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth. The land management SDGs call for consistent tracking of land cover metrics. These metrics include productivity, land cover, soil carbon, urban expansion, and more.
