The National Land Policy of Ghana, established in June 1999, serves as a comprehensive framework for land management in the country. It addresses critical issues such as market indiscipline, unclear land boundaries, and weak administrative structures. This policy was developed by the Ministry of Lands and Forestry with the aim of ensuring equitable access to land, secure tenure, sustainable use, and active community participation. The policy also outlines strategic actions to protect land rights, improve land use planning, and build institutional capacity. Its ultimate goal is to align land management practices with national socio-economic objectives and environmental sustainability.
