UNECA: Declaration on land issues and challenges in Africa

The AU Declaration on Land Issues and Challenges in Africa, adopted in 2009, outlines key resolutions for African Heads of State and Government to address land governance and policy. 

It emphasizes the need for strong land governance institutions, adequate budgetary allocations for land policy development and implementation, and equitable access to land for all users, with a specific focus on women.

The declaration also urges member states to develop comprehensive land policies that are tailored to their specific needs and to build necessary capacities.
