Unlocking human settlements development in communal land areas
Documents et rapports de conférence
This report, a summary of the substantial challenges that continue to plague South Africa’s efforts to reform land administration system, proposes that key decision-makers and informers involved in communal land administration undergo a mindshift in thinking.
