    The figures of public resources estimated to have been channeled into private pockets are so high one hopes, obviously against hope, that they would turn out to be typographical errors.

    Kenya

    The Civil Society commends the Ministry of Lands for spearheading the important process of developing the Draft National Policy, and affirms that land is central to the livelihoods of most Kenyans and as such its access, use, ownership, administration and distribution are of key national concern. Thus, having critically examined the Draft Policy we do hereby make our position on the way forward on the salient policy proposals of the Draft National Land Policy document.

    Women in most rural communities in Africa dominate farm activities in terms of labour
    supply and management. Overall, Africa's performance in terms of agricultural
    production and productivity remain inadequate and the region has failed to make progress
    in food security (Republic of Kenya, 2002). Therefore, successful agricultural reform
    programs will require raising women's productivity. The current study examines the
    existence of real evidence that women's limited access to land constitute a significant

    Ethiopia, Sub-Saharan Africa

    Although many African countries have adopted highly innovative and pro-poor land laws, lack of implementation hinders their potentially far-reaching impact on productivity, poverty reduction, and governance. To assess the effects of these pro-poor land laws and analyse whether the existing doubts are justified, this report draws on the experience of Ethiopia which, over a period of 2-3 years, registered the majority of rural lands in a rapid process at rather low cost.

    Malawi, Africa

    Malawi, like other countries in Africa, has a new land policy designed to clarify and formalise customary tenure. The country is poor with a high population density, highly dependent on agriculture, and the research sites are matrilineal-matrilocal, and near urban centres. But the case raises issues relevant to land tenure reform elsewhere: the role of ‘traditional authorities’ or chiefs vis-a-vis the state and ‘community’; variability in types of ‘customary’ tenure; and deepening inequality within rural populations.

    Ethiopia, Africa

    A conceptual framework is developed and used for improving the livelihood of Sub-Saharan communities faced with multiple stresses resulting from adverse environments, vector-transmitted diseases, and limited food. Ecosocial systems are the units for management. The accumulation of ecological, economic, and social capital is the objective of management, the reduction of maintenance costs is the key strategy, and technologies must satisfy ecological, economic, and social criteria.

    Mozambique

    A Estratégia de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (ESAN II) resulta da evolução da

    ESAN I aprovada pelo Governo de Moçambique em 1998, através da Resolução Interna

    16/98. A ESAN I foi elaborada na sequência da Cimeira Mundial de Alimentação

    (CMA), realizada em Roma em 1996, quando os diversos países se comprometeram a

    reduzir a fome para metade até 2015. Este objectivo coincide com o Objectivo número

    um do Desenvolvimento do Milénio (ODM), aprovado na Cimeira do Milénio, em 2000.
