Oxfam listened to women and men from Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Timor-Leste who shared their stories on how the climate crisis caused loss and damage to their lands and impacted their lives.
This State of Land Information (SOLI) report is an analysis of the current state of land data in Zambia, assessing the availability of land information and the compliance of this information with open data standards.
The severity of the population dislocation and destruction of housing, land and property (HLP) in the Ukraine war has driven efforts for starting reconstruction planning prior to the war's end. This comes with the realization that re-covery will entail considerable preparation, including ef-forts at using seized Russian assets to finance it. Engaging in HLP restitution and compensation will be a primary re-covery challenge, with the Ukrainian government moving forward with legislation for facilitating this.
Ukraine is poised to transform the process of housing, land and property (HLP)
restitution and compensation after wars. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has displaced
more than 13.5 million people (UNHCR 2023) and created massive destruction and
damage to the country’s HLP. Initial efforts at recovery along with counter-offensives
have stabilized large areas of the country and liberated others, to which displaced
Ukrainians are now beginning to return (Duggar 2022; Conkling 2022). The Ukrainian
ILC and Welthungerhilfe with support from GIZ celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Guidelines’ endorsement by launching the VGGT+10 Initiative with the goal to take stock and assess to which degree the Guidelines have been used as an orientation for national -level tenure reform processes and as a tool to contribute to tenure security. We also aimed at mobilizing and renewing concrete political commitments and to identifying the next steps for the further application of the Guidelines.
Le rapport régional sur les crises alimentaires au Sahel et en Afrique de l’Ouest présente la mise au jour de la situation d’insécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle aiguë dans la région en 2023 sur la base des données CH de mars 2023 pour les périodes de mars à mai et de juin à août 2023. Il examine les principaux facteurs de causalité et facteurs limitants et en explique le niveau de sévérité des crises alimentaires et nutritionnelles.
Ce numéro de « Regards sur le foncier » reprend une partie des communications présentées lors du séminaire régional sur la gestion foncière locale en Afrique de l’Ouest et à Madagascar, organisé en mars 2023 à Saint-Louis du Sénégal, à l’initiative du Comité technique « Foncier & développement » (CTFD). Ce séminaire a réuni soixante-dix participants, membres d’organisations de la société civile, d’organisations paysannes ou des administrations foncières, et experts-chercheurs, de huit pays d’Afrique (Bénin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinée, Sénégal, Madagascar, Mali, Niger).

L’urbanisation progresse dans de nombreux pays et ce rapport montre qu’elle modifie les systèmes agroalimentaires d’une façon qu’il n’est plus possible d’appréhender sous l’angle de la simple dichotomie entre milieu rural et milieu urbain.
En retraçant la vie sociale du concept d’observatoire foncier en contextes africains, l’objectif de cette étude est d’analyser l’émergence, l’évolution, la mise en œuvre et les effets des observatoires fonciers sur l’action publique foncière. Le nombre d’observatoires du foncier s’accroit, sans que la nature de ces organisations et les liens entretenus avec les acteurs du foncier et les processus de politique foncière soient encore pleinement compris.
The Amazon has a diverse array of social and environmental initiatives that adopt forest-based land-use practices to promote rural development and support local livelihoods. However, they are often insufficiently recognized as transformative pathways to sustainability and the factors that explain their success remain understudied.
Despite the existence of a legal framework defining the right to fair compensation, and notwithstanding the vast literature on transnational and domestic land deals, no theory has been developed so far to allow for a specific analysis of the economics of fair compensation in large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs), limiting our understanding of the underlying reasons of success or failure of this important legal protection mechanism.
