Demystifying Customary Tenure in Zambia

Conference Papers & Reports
February, 2006
Zambia

Land Tenure, Title Deeds, and Farm Productivity in the Southern Province of Zambia

Reports & Research
August, 2001
Zambia

This study relates to an on-going debate as to whether customary African land tenure must be reformed or converted to a statutory, individualised land tenure system (often referred to as a ‘titled’ system) as a pre-requisite to agricultural development. Past arguments in favour of titling claim that traditional tenure is insecure for the small farmer and thus creates disincentives for land improvements; that it prevents land from being used as collateral for credit; and that it prevents the transfer of land from inefficient users to efficient ones.
