Land tenure systems are strongly on the agenda of academics and
policymakers West Africa - the contributors to this work draw on
their experiences to present different ways of understanding land
tenure. The contributors to this book are all West Africans. They
draw on their experience to find new ways of understanding land
tenure. There is increasing concern about land and resource access
in West Africa, both in governments and donor organizations. This
concern has emerged as a result of a number of factors: failed
development projects, perceived by many to result from the neglect
of land tenure issues; degradation of soils and vegetation which
have beenassociated with poorly defined rules governing management
of resources; higher levels of conflict in rural society arising
from greater scarcity of natural resources; and the awareness that
people need secure rights in order to invest in their farms and
improve productivity. Published in association with IIED and GRET
