It builds a quantitative framework to connect the environmental method of Material Flow Analysis to basic issues of rural development such as agricultural intensification and food security.
In the land of the chiefs : customary law, land conflicts, and the role of the state in Peri-Urban Ghana
The central themes of this book are customary law, traditional leadership and local land management. International policy is currently witnessing a renewed interest in customary tenure systems and traditional leadership, through which it aims to enhance the efficiency of local governance, and create general access to and secure rights in land. Contrary to these ideas, practice reveals a lack of security of customary tenure in many areas.
LAND-at-scale Knowledge Management for Equitable and Sustainable Land Governance: Supporting the LAND-at-scale
General
Knowledge management (KM) and learning are at the heart of the LAND-at-scale programme. The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) in partnership with a broad scala of knowledge partners including LANDac, Royal Tropical Intitute (KIT), the International Land Coalition (ILC), Land Portal and many more will collaborate to implement the knowledge management (KM) component of the program.
Through LAND-at-scale's country-projects, the aim is to achieve just, inclusive and sustainable land governance at scale and in a sustainable way. With an integrated KM-strategy, LAND-at-scale aims to achieve maximum impact of each project, as well as contribute to gaining a deeper understanding of the conditions required to create structural change. Exchanges across partners is a core element of the strategy, but also linking them to academic partners to fill in knowledge gaps and uncover more along the way.
