This regional course will bring together various groups of stakeholders and practitioners to discuss land redistribution in Africa, a high political and development priority within the region.  Among the issues to be addressed during the course are: land redistribution mechanisms; the relationship between land distribution and growth and poverty; institutions for sustainable development; and the current situations and future scenarios in the land reform process for participating countries as well as a review of international experience from outside of Africa.

Building on previous courses delivered as part of a multi-year initiative on Land Issues in Africa, this course will focus on the dissemination of international experience (Brazil, India and the Philippines), local case studies, and open discussions to focus on participant-led input. The course will be delivered using a combination of e-learning tools, videoconferencing, and face-to-face workshop sessions.
