This report presents a preliminary synthesis of existing findings emerging from IDRC-supported projects on large-scale land acquisitions and accountability in Africa. Two-thirds of foreign land deals take place in developing countries with serious hunger problems and in countries with the weakest land rights protection laws. Investments to date have served to highlight existing weaknesses in the management and governance of agricultural lands and local communities. A summit of all the research teams investigating the conditions for promoting greater accountability, legitimacy and access to justice around land investment processes and the broader network of IDRC land partners met in Dakar (2015).
