Land Governance Mainstreaming Tool – 2020

Effective land governance mainstreaming requires plans, resources and dedicated people to ensure that commitments are translated into action and actual change on the ground.

Research: Land Governance in Lesotho

In Lesotho, despite the Land Act of 2010 and the institutional framework for land

At national level, the control of land use/physical planning is entangled in struggles between agencies in the Ministry of Local Government and the Land Administration Authority. At local levels, similar struggles exist between local councils and customary authorities (hereditary chiefs).
There is therefore, urgent need to streamline land management functions and delineate clear lines of responsibility and enforce them. Read more>>>
