Increased global demand for land posits the need for well-designed
country-level land policies to protect long-held rights, facilitate
land access and address any constraints that land policy may pose
for broader growth. While the implementation of land reforms can be
a lengthy process, the need to swiftly identify key land policy
challenges and devise responses that allow the monitoring of
progress, in a way that minimizes conflicts and supports broader
development goals, is clear. The Land Governance Assessment
Framework (LGAF) makes a substantive contribution to the land
sector by providing a quick and innovative tool to monitor land
governance at the country level. The LGAF offers a comprehensive
diagnostic tool that covers five main areas for policy
intervention: Legal and institutional framework; Land use planning,
management and taxation; Management of public land; Public
provision of land information; and Dispute resolution and conflict
management. The LGAF assesses these areas through a set of detailed
indicators that are rated on a scale of pre-coded statements (from
lack of good governance to good practice). While land governance
can be highly technical in nature and tends to be addressed in a
partial and sporadic manner, the LGAF posits a tool for a
comprehensive assessment, taking into account the broad range of
issues that land governance encompasses, while enabling those
unfamiliar with land to grasp its full complexity. The LGAF will
make it possible for policymakers to make sense of the technical
levels of the land sector, benchmark governance, identify areas
that require further attention and monitor progress. It is intended
to assist countries in prioritizing reforms in the land sector by
providing a holistic diagnostic review that can inform policy
dialogue in a clear and targeted manner. In addition to presenting
the LGAF tool, this book includes detailed case studies on its
implementation in five selected countries: Peru, the Kyrgyz
Republic, Ethiopia, Indonesia and Tanzania.
