The National Land Policy for Kenya: Critical Gender Issues and Policy Statements
Land Policies for Growth and Poverty Reduction
Land policies are of fundamental importance to sustainable growth, good governance, and the well-being of, and the economic opportunities open to, both rural and urban dwellers - particularly the poor. To this end, research on land policy, and analysis of interventions related to the subject, have long been of interest to the Bank's Research Department, and other academic, and civil society institutions.
Communal Titling for Cambodia’s Indigenous Peoples
The dramatic increase in migration and settlement in several areas where indigenous people live is leading to a multitude of problems for the original inhabitants. Lowland immigrants are taking advantage of the vulnerable situation of indigenous people, and the absence of regulations, to lay claim to the people’s traditional lands. Illegal land transactions are taking place at an alarming rate without thought of the problems that would result from widespread landlessness among indigenous peoples or the impact this is likely to have on the remaining forested areas.

Duurzaam bodemleven : literatuurstudie voor composteren bij bloembollenbedrijven
Ieder bedrijf produceert afval. Bij bloembollenbedrijven is een groot deel van het afval plantaardig, zoals pelafval, maaisel, stro. Dit afval kan afgevoerd worden, wat een uitstroom van nutriënten en organische stof van het bedrijf tot gevolg heeft en aanzienlijke kosten met zich meebrengt. Het materiaal kan ook op het eigen bedrijf gecomposteerd worden. Sommige bedrijven met open teelt, met name in de bloembollensector, composteren het eigen organisch restmateriaal.
