    Mali, Western Africa

    Urban and peri-urban land markets in rapidly expanding West African cities operate within and across different coexisting tenure regimes and involve complex procedures to obtain or make land available for housing. Because a structured framework lacks for the analysis of such systems, this book proposes a systemic approach and applies it to Bamako and its surrounding areas.

    Africa, Western Africa

    This paper presents early evidence from
    the first large-scale randomized-controlled trial of a land
    formalization program. The study examines the links between
    land demarcation and investment in rural Benin in light of a
    model of agricultural production under insecure tenure. The
    demarcation process involved communities in the mapping and
    attribution of land rights; cornerstones marked parcel
    boundaries and offered lasting landmarks. Consistent with

    Mauritania

    Mauritania is a vast country covering
    over a million square kilometers, where a relatively small
    population of 3.5 million people lives on just one-fifth of

    desertification, the country is particularly vulnerable to
    the impact of climate change and other external shocks. The
    main sources of income in Mauritania are agriculture, which
    is either irrigated or rain-fed, and livestock. This is

    Mali, Western Africa

    This paper presents a new type of land
    market analysis relevant to cities with plural tenure
    systems as in West Africa. The methodology hinges on a
    systemic analysis of land delivery channels, which helps to
    show how land is initially made available for circulation,
    how tenure can be formalized incrementally, and the
    different means whereby households can access land. The
    analysis is applied to the area of Bamako in Mali, where

    Nigeria

    When it comes to strategy, the Chinese
    have a saying: 'think big, start small, but move
    fast.' This has been our guiding philosophy for the
    pilot land reforms of the World Bank-Department of
    International Development (DFID) sub national Investment
    Climate Program (ICP) in Nigeria. The challenge was to find
    a 'small' reform entry point from which to
    'move fast' on this sensitive and difficult topic,

    The housing finance market in Mali
    remains small and under developed. Few banks currently offer
    a full mortgage product with Banque Malienne de Solidarite,
    Mali Housing Bank (BHM), Bank of Africa, and EcoBank being
    the main lenders although at minimal levels. The total
    annual housing need in Mali based on the household formation
    rate amounts to 82,500, split between 51,100 urban units and
    31,400 rural units. Overall some social housing is
