Displaying 16 - 17 of 17DAR, land reform-related agencies and the CARP: A study of government and alternative approaches to land acquisition and distribution
This study examines the land acquisition and distribution process of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) by analyzing the nature and extent of participation of the various government agencies.
