De nos jours, le BURKINA FASO fait face à une pression démographique sans pareil. Celle-ci s’exerce principalement autour des grandes villes qui subissent les affres d’un taux de natalité assez élevé, d’un exode rural aggravé par l’afflux massif des populations fuyant les zones sous emprises des attaques terroristes et d’une urbanisation forcée.
Aujourd'hui, nous sommes heureux de marquer le lancement officiel de PlaceFund, une organisation américaine indépendante à but non lucratif qui se consacre aux problèmes de l'insécurité des droits de propriété, de l'utilisation non durable des terres et du changement climatique. Construit sur une décennie comme l'initiative des droits de propriété au sein du Réseau Omidyar, PlaceFund fonctionnera sous la direction de Peter Rabley et Amy Regas, qui quitteront le Réseau Omidyar pour diriger cette organisation.
The Rangelands Initiative of the International Land Coalition (ILC) is drawing attention to rangelands and drylands at the highest levels, in order to find solutions to the challenges faced by local populations that live and work there, and to encourage appropriate investment including in securing land rights and good governance, building resilience to drought and other shocks or stresses, and increasing rangeland productivity.
Matito Leruso was born and raised in the herding community of Lengurma in Isiolo County. Communal grazing land has been central to her community’s livelihood, wellbeing, and identity for generations, but they have never had their legal rights to govern it recognized. None of Kenya’s thousands of pastoralist communities have. This changed in 2016, with the passage of the Community Land Act. Since then, Matito has joined other residents of Lengurma in working to understand, use and shape the new law to ensure that their community land rights are respected and upheld.
Second in a series of blog posts on the release of the 2019 Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR) at the ReSAKSS Annual Conference in Lomé, Togo, Nov. 11-13.
Last week the World Cocoa Foundation, a membership organization of more than 100 cocoa companies, held its annual partnership meeting in Berlin, Germany. The aim of the meeting is for governments, cocoa companies and farmers to identify and tackle the sector’s largest sustainability challenges. A 90-minute session was devoted to the topic of land tenure. The prominence of the session, as well as the seniority of the presenters – the Head of Sustainable Sourcing for Hershey’s and the Deputy Director General of Cote d’Ivoire’s Land Agency among them – is a powerful signaling effect.
