Displaying 1921 - 1925 of 2116Communal Land Development Project
General
The CLDP project is implemented as an integral part of the PCLD and is structured along a series of causally interlinked activities. Existing customary land rights and infrastructure will be mapped and registered in a designated Namibian Communal Land Administration System (NCLAS). The information provided by this system will be used during the planning phase where, depending on the complexity of an area, an Integrated Regional Land Use Plan (IRLUP) or initially only a Local Level Participatory Plan (LLPP) will be developed. This will result in the registration of legitimate existing land rights, as mapped and validated in the first step, as well as the registration of “new” land rights which emanate from and are defined in the participatory planning process. These land rights can accrue to individuals as well as to groups of people, and are an important step towards securing the remaining commonage in the interest of more marginalised rural residents, as well as creating a conducive environment for private investments on the land. Planning for, and investments in infrastructure developments, will explore a mix of potential interventions which make provisions for different ownership, management and land use options to stimulate diversification options. Advisory services will strengthen both the planning phase, as well as the optimal utilisation of the infrastructure investments in order foster the integration of rural communities in the mainstream economy.

Assessment and development of a revised and expanded Protected Area Network in the Democratic Republic of Cong
General
Working in collaboration with governmental administrative authorities and participating actors along with NGOs and local communities, the project’s mission is to assess and delineate possible protected areas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The project’s main focus is on strengthening the ability of these partners to initiate and implement transparently defined land use planning. The overarching objective of the project is to establish a comprehensive network of conservation areas in the DR Congo (accounting for 15% of the nation’s total area).
Strengthening Land Governance
General
The recent transition to market economy and creation of land market has led to increased land speculation. In the face of weak legal frameworks and institutions for their protection, the land access of women and men farmers, especially those (mostly ethnic minorities) living in upland shifting cultivation areas, is at risk. Land governance will be a central issue in any political dialogue with ethnic leaders. The rapidly evolving political environment presents both opportunities and risks for equitable land governance.
