The EU Land Policy Guidelines (November 2004) are intended for EU donors when supporting interventions in rural land policy and administration. They are divided into Part I policy framework, Part II operational guidelines. Part I includes what is land policy and why does it matter?; links between land policy and other major policy areas (e.g. poverty reduction, gender equality, conflict, governance, environment); elements of a land policy programme; central issues for the design of land policy and land reforms (e.g. securing rights, titling, redistribution, key principles); and implementing land policies – the role of different stakeholders. Part II includes situation analysis, policy framework, opportunities for changes, sustainability, monitoring and evaluation.
