This lesson brief examines the statutory frameworks governing decentralization in Mali and the challenges that have arisen. It is part of the Focus on Land in Africa: Land Tenure and Property Right online educational tool. When properly implemented, the decentralization of authority over land and natural resources to the local level can lead to improved resource management, create an enabling environment for local tenure systems, and strenghten legal recognition of customary land rights.
