Ce document examine les politiques des structures qui ont été mises en place en France dans la seconde partie du XXe siècle.

Profitant du large espace de réflexion que leur offrait le premier régime militaire de 1974 à 1990, les Nigériens se sont engagés dans un vaste chantier pour l’écriture ou la réécriture de leur politique foncière.

L’objectif de cette étude est d’analyser les enjeux majeurs qui se posent en matière de sécurisation et de gestion du foncier pastoral et forestier au Sénégal, en vue de formuler des propositions ciblées permettant d’enrichir le paquet de propositions paysannes de réforme foncière déjà élaborées et portées par le Cadre National de Concertation et de Coopération des Ruraux (CNCR).

Le champ d’analyse  met l’accent sur les axes ci-après :

1/ identifier les grands enjeux de la gouvernance des ressources pastorales et forestières ;

Plusieurs cadres normatifs internationaux, tels que les Directives volontaires pour une gouvernance responsable des régimes fonciers applicables aux terres, aux pêches et aux forêts dans le contexte de la sécurité alimentaire nationale (les Directives volontaires) approuvées en 2012 par le Comité pour la sécurité alimentaire mondiale (CSA) ou les Principes pour un investissement responsable dans l’agriculture et les systèmes alimentaires (RAI) adoptés en 2014, sont promus au niveau international pour servir de cadre de référence aux projet

The aim of this study is to analyse modes of access to land and agreements regulating the exchange of plots between families and between villages. It is based on a quantitative survey of 95 smallholders and over 300 plots (49 of which are cultivated by women), as well as qualitative analysis using transcriptions of interviews with groups of dignitaries, men and women. The main means of access to land identified are via inheritance and gifts, which together accounted for access to 80% to 90% of the plots surveyed.

Based on the principles of sustainable development and in recognition of land’s centrality to development, these Guidelines are intended to contribute to global and national efforts towards the eradication of hunger and poverty by promoting secure tenure rights and equitable access to land, fisheries and forests.
This technical guide on Governing land for women and men aims to assist implementation of the Guidelines’ principle of gender equality through the achievement of responsible gender-equitable governance of land tenure.

This book deals with the socio-legal aspects of the use and management of land and water
resources in (former) Luwu District (Kabupaten Luwu) in the Province of South Sulawesi (Propinsi

Land is a scarce resource increasingly affected by the competition of mutually exclusive uses. Fertile land in rural areas becomes scarcer due to population growth, pollution, erosion and desertification, effects of
climate change, urbanization etc. On the remaining land, local, national and international users with different socioeconomic status and power compete to achieve food security, economic growth, energy supply, nature

The Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (FAO, 2012 – referred to in this guide as ‘the Guidelines’) were unanimously adopted by the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) in 2012, with subsequent broad international recognition and support. Their strength rests on the unique inclusive and participatory process through which they were developed.

Significant progress has been made over the past decade or so in the development of policy and legislation that support the recognition of customary rights to land, with important legal rulings in Tanzania, Uganda, Mozambique, South Sudan, and South Africa. At the same time, the strengthening of communities’ traditional rights to use resources has progressed through community forest reserves and community conservation areas.

Deforestation and forest degradation account for up to 20% of the total annual anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, current approaches to address climate change include strategies to reduce deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (REDD). Even though REDD is still under discussion within the UNFCCC framework, many REDD pilot projects are being implemented across the tropics.
