Large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs) have been a major concern for several developing countries, especially those in sub-Saharan Africa. To make land investment processes more accountable and equitable, as well as to prevent land-based social conflicts, the IDRC has supported projects in 10 countries to study conditions conducive to accountability and towards better access to justice in land investment processes. Differences between land grabbing and LSLA were clarified. The purpose of the projects was to test various tools and methodologies to improve communities' ability to negotiate equitable conditions and protect their rights and interests. This paper reports on conference workshop dialogues and discussions.
