The ‘Land Tenure and Development’ Technical Committee is a working group composed of French Cooperation experts, researchers and decision-makers. Since its creation in 1996 it has worked in conjunction with numerous French and international actors to support the French Cooperation in developing strategies and supervising actions on land issues. In addition to the White Paper by French Cooperation actors (2009), it has produced an analysis of large-scale land appropriations (2010) and many other works and tools intended to improve our understanding and efforts to address the challenges associated with land issues in developing countries.
Full versions of all these outputs can be found on the ‘Land Tenure and Development’ portal (www.foncier-developpement.fr), which the Committee set up to provide access to accurate and up-to-date information on the sector.
