Gambia

There is a strong recognition of rights to land and forests both in rural and urban areas in the Gambia. Land is governed by a complex and interlinked system of statutory and customary law and practices. Over the last three decades land reforms largely aimed at formalizing and converting customary tenure into leasehold tenure, centralizing land administration, and establishing a Land Commission.
