    The six case studies in this book were prepared as background studies for a synthesis report on land administration and reform in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Collectively they cover two main areas of land governance: reforms in redistributing agricultural land; and reforms in land administration. The problems in land ownership inequality and poor land administration are defined and the question of why reforms are necessary is addressed. The first two case studies focus on reforms in redistributing agricultural land in Malawi and South Africa.

    Ethiopia

    Although many African countries have recently adopted highly innovative and pro-poor land laws, lack of implementation thwarts their potentially far-reaching impact on productivity, poverty reduction, and governance. We use a representative household survey from Ethiopia where, over a short period, certificates to more than 20 million plots were issued to describe the certification process, explore its incidence and preliminary impact, and quantify the costs.

    Lesotho

    Lesotho is one of the poorest and most
    unequal countries in the world. It is a small, mostly

    capita over the past decade. Redefining the role of the

    Botswana

    Botswana has been one of the worlds
    fastest growing economies over the past 50 years, allowing
    the country to move from being among the poorest to upper
    middle income status - this has had the effect of pulling
    the majority of the population out of poverty. While
    Botswana is rightly praised for its management of resource
    wealth, it is apparent that the high levels of investment by

    The eight Millennium Development Goals
    (MDGs) form a blueprint that is agreed to by all the
    world's countries and its leading development
    institutions. The first seven goals are mutually reinforcing

    achieving the MDGs a framework of targets and indicators has

    using examples and the detailed implementation mechanisms
    that were used in those examples. The objectives of this
    book are to review and analyze: a) the growing consensus on

    administration can contribute significantly to the
    objectives of promoting gender equality and protecting
