Conventions locales et sécurisation foncière au Mali

Reports & Research
December, 2022
Mali

Au Mali, la gouvernance des terres et des ressources naturelles, longtemps fondée sur le principe de la domanialité publique, n’a pas réussi à mieux sécuriser les droits des communautés locales ni à empêcher la dégradation desdites ressources. Dans le même temps, les systèmes fonciers traditionnels n’ont pas pu exprimer tout leur potentiel face à l’hégémonie du droit étatique et du fait des pratiques inégalitaires qu’ils soutiennent à l’égard de certains groupes, comme les femmes, les allochtones et les jeunes.

Gestion locale du foncier agricole au Mali

Reports & Research
December, 2022
Mali

La responsabilisation des communautés locales dans la gestion du foncier agricole, gage de paix et de cohésion sociale, est nécessaire. On observe une plus grande implication des acteurs locaux dans la gestion durable des conflits fonciers et la protection des droits coutumiers à la suite de la judiciarisation récurrente des litiges fonciers agricoles. On voit maintenant une valorisation des us et coutumes dans le processus de gestion locale durable du foncier.

Land rights are ascendant across the development sector. Movements addressing women’s empowerment, poverty, social justice, food security and climate change are all increasingly turning to land rights to strengthen their cause. In 2022, renowned philanthropist MacKenzie Scott joined these efforts by making an unprecedented $20 million investment in our work. Ms. Scott’s generous gift represents a profound endorsement of the power of land rights to improve the lives of women, men, and communities around the world.

Dans les pays du Sud, l’accès à la terre et à ses ressources, son contrôle et ses usages représentent des questions cruciales. Au cœur des défis de la construction de l’État, du développement agricole, de la sécurité alimentaire et de la durabilité environnementale, le foncier est aussi un marqueur identitaire et une source récurrente de conflits.

Renforcer les droits fonciers des populations autochtones au Cameroun

Reports & Research
December, 2022
Cameroun

Au Cameroun, l’augmentation des investissements à grande échelle, dans des secteurs tels que l’agro-industrie, l’exploitation minière et forestière, a entraîné de nombreux transferts de droits fonciers des communautés locales vers les acteurs commerciaux. Mais ces transferts négligent souvent les droits des communautés à la consultation, à l’information et au consentement. Les investissements entrainent des déplacements fréquents et/ou la perte d’accès à des zones et des ressources cruciales.

Land consumption and climate change have intensified natural disasters in urban areas. In response to these emergencies under the European 2030 Agenda, Sustainable Development Goals have been established to improve ecosystem protection and increase resilience and adaptation to natural disasters globally (Goal 13 “Climate action” and Goal 15 “Life on land”).

Socioeconomic Effects of Good Governance Practices in Urban Land Management: The Case of Lega Tafo Lega Dadi and Gelan Towns

Peer-reviewed publication
December, 2022
Global

This study’s objective is to assess the socioeconomic effects of good governance practices in urban land management in two particular Ethiopian towns. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were employed to achieve this objective. Questionnaires, interviews, and focus group discussions were used to collect data, and the collected data were analyzed descriptively. According to the study’s findings, the poor were hit particularly hard by weak governance in urban land management, since they could not afford to bribe authorities to acquire services or legal protection.

Spatiotemporal Distribution and Driving Force Analysis of the Ecosystem Service Value in the Fujiang River Basin, China

Peer-reviewed publication
December, 2022
Global

Identification of spatiotemporal changes in ecosystem service value and their drivers is the basis for ecosystem services management and decision making. This research selects Fujiang River Basin (FJRB) as the area of study, using the equivalent factor method to estimate the ecosystem service value (ESV) variation and characteristics of its spatial distribution. The contributions of the drivers of ecosystem service value and their interactions were also explored using the optimal parameters-based geographical detectors (OPGD) model.

Is Obliterated Land Still Land? Tenure Security and Climate Change in Indonesia

Peer-reviewed publication
December, 2022
Indonesia

Both human activities and climate change have changed landscapes significantly, especially in coastal areas. Sea level rise and land subsidence foster tidal floods and permanent inundations, thus changing and limiting land use. Though many countries, including Indonesia, are aware of these phenomena, the legal status of this permanently inundated land remains unclear. Indonesia refers to this land legally as obliterated land. This qualification makes former landowners uncertain, as it does not recognize their previous land rights, and creates disputes during land acquisition.
