South Sudan is a new country of 10.5
million people that has just emerged from conflict and still
facing challenges with recovery and development. Although
economic disparities, political exclusion and deprivation in
the distribution of political and economic power between the
northern and southern parts of then united Sudan were often
tendered as the proximal causes of the conflict, at the
center of the prolonged civil war was the struggle for
ownership, control and use of land resources. The tool
underpinning this report is the Land Governance Assessment
Framework (LGAF), a diagnostic instrument for rapid
evaluation of various aspects of land governance. LGAF was
developed through a collaborative effort between the World
Bank, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), UN Habitat,
International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD), the
International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the
African Union (AU).
