Practice note 7: Conflict-sensitive land policy and land governance in Africa
Incorporating a conflict-sensitive approach when designing and implementing land policies and land reform is...crucial in order to realise increased equity, greater socio-economic development, food security as well as contribute to peace and stability...Failure to do so could see commercial agriculture disenfranchise local people by preventing them from peacefully resettling to their own lands...Through proper consultation and analysis, and a readiness to take a longterm approach to working with stakeholders to identify terms of investment, investors can develop win-win proposals that will tap the potential of the region in the interests of its recovery from conflict.
