Le présent manuel sur La parité hommes-femmes et l'accès à la terre a été rédigé pour aider les administrateurs fonciers dans les gouvernements et leurs homologues dans la société civile jouant un rôle dans l'accès à la terre et dans l'administration foncière dans le cadre du développement rural. Les questions de parité hommes-femmes sont fréquemment omises ou sous-estimées et cela a souvent des répercussions négatives.

This report contains the results of a study of gender and access to forest and tree resources, women and men’s use of common lands and botanical resources, and the importance of these resources for the livelihoods of people in highland Ethiopia.

This guide proposes tools and approaches to improve forest tenure governance and practical actions to realise this objective. It is intended for government policy-makers, or other public sector, private sector or civil society stakeholders concerned with forest governance and tenure reform.

The goal of this exercise is to identify some of the tools a development agent needs for achieving effective local participation in policy development. The intended audiences are FAO professionals and their colleagues, in other agencies and in the field programs. This paper uses an analogy of walking and climbing to separate the familiar project experiences (the walking) from the less-known territory of policy influence (the climbing).

The paper looks at land tenure in Mozambique, where ever since independence in 1975, property in land has been vested in the state, and despite the political and economic shift to a multiparty system and market economy, this underlying principle has remained in place: no land may be sold, mortgaged, or otherwise encumbered or alienated. Local traditional land management systems meanwhile have retained a robust role as the de facto land management system of Mozambique.

Le présent guide sur Le régime foncier et le développement rural a été préparé pour familiariser les lecteurs avec les questions clés liées au régime foncier, et plus particulièrement celles concernant l’insécurité alimentaire et le développement rural. La négligence dont fait trop souvent l’objet le régime foncier lors des interventions de développement rural a souvent des effets néfastes très durables. Il est essentiel d’analyser les aspects pratiques du régime foncier pour déterminer quelles sont les personnes qui ont accès aux terres et sous quelles conditions.

This case study looks at the land tenure in Namibia, where for a century of colonial rule indigenous Namibians were dispossessed from rights to both land and resources – by German and then white South African settlers establishing commercial farms and related businesses. Access to freehold tenure was reserved for white settlers and tenure security for indigenous Namibians largely disappeared. In non-white areas, rights were provided under indigenous tenure systems whose legal status was somewhat murky. Urban tenure was denied as blacks were not allowed ownership of residential land.
