Welcome to Focus on Africa, an education tool on land and property rights. This website is aimed at development practitioners, donors and policy makers in both developing and industrialized countries. It features a series of modules highlighting the land tenure experiences and lessons from six sub-Saharan African countries – Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Tanzania and Uganda – which are conveyed through a series of interactive slideshows, maps, timelines, diagrams and publications. All are designed to deepen appreciation for the role that land rights play in shaping livelihoods and development trajectories in Africa. They aim to encourage greater consideration of land rights in the design and implementation of development projects and policies, so as to improve their outcomes and ultimate success.
We look forward to your feedback on how this site can be continuously enhanced to meet these goals.
