The Gnassingbé clan has ruled the country since 1967. Throughout the survey period, demands for political change initiated by institutional and electoral reforms were a major issue of contention between the government and the challengers of the Gnassingbé regime. An alliance of opposition parties and civil society groups organized peaceful demonstrations in opposition to the regime. These demonstrations were often violently suppressed. Civil society organizations and representatives of the Christian church supported the opposition’s demands.

An options paper for raising awareness on responsible land governance for combatting desertification, land degradation, and drought.

Land policies are formulated with the goal of addressing land use management challenges. Therefore, a thorough investigation is required to assess effectiveness of land policy processes. The unknown land use policy effec[1]tiveness is how and where the formulation and identification of land use problems affect the throughput of policy implementation. The main objective of this paper is to assess the effectiveness of land policy processes using models of public policy analysis.

Le projet ALIGN (Advancing Land-based Investment Governance) appuie les gouvernements, la société civile, les communautés locales et d’autres parties prenantes pour renforcer la gouvernance et les pratiques en matière d’investissements fonciers - de l’agriculture aux infrastructures, en passant par les industries minières et manufacturières, la séquestration du carbone et les énergies renouvelables. Ce fascicule présente les objectifs, les activités et les partenaires du projet.

Seconde partie d’une étude en deux volets sur les politiques de l’habitat dans les pays à revenu intermédiaire, ce papier de recherche explore les alternatives aux programmes d’accession à la propriété pleine et individuelle (via un crédit immobilier). Dans le champ d’action des politiques publiques, ces alternatives peuvent aller de la mise en œuvre des formes d’accès à la propriété plus inclusives (autoconstruction partielle et encadrée, coopératives, foncier solidaire, etc.) à la relance des marchés locatifs privés et au développement du logement locatif social.

Une tendance de fond domine les politiques du logement des pays à revenu intermédiaire depuis les années 1980 : la montée en puissance de l’accession aidée à la propriété individuelle, c’est-à-dire via un crédit immobilier subventionné.

The ongoing use of landscape-based conflict commodities — diamonds and other minerals, timber, wildlife, etc. — to finance wars continues to evolve. The success with which such commodities can be transacted to support militaries, militias and insurgencies has led belligerents to innovate with additional commodities. Housing, land and property (HLP) rights within war zones have belatedly joined the list of conflict commodities that are subject to transaction, and to such an extent as to warrant significant concern.

Latin American countries have pursued rural land titling and registration campaigns over the past several decades with a broad range of social and economic goals. These efforts represent a permanent or long-term legal recognition of rights to land as a primary economic asset for agricultural communities and a source of family subsistence, security, and social and cultural wellbeing. Land rights can provide multi-generational benefits to recipients.
