In countries where a large proportion of
the total land area is held customarily, reform questions
around land and development often tend to focus on the

relatively small in land area, can yield outsized benefits.
Publicly owned land regularly includes economically valuable
land and urban land on which development pressure is high.

problems of land alienation through leasing in Vanuatu -

occurred to the detriment of many landowners, who have often -
