Abstract
Land governance is important for the structural transformation and
sustainable development of Africa and its adaptation to climate change. It is
also relevant for investment opportunities in the land sector. The importance
of land policy for sustainable development is increasingly recognized and
NEPAD has undertaken the Land Governance Programme (LGP) to provide
support to member countries in integrating land governance issues into
sector plans and strategies. To do this, an inventory of socio-economic
databases is necessary.
The main objective of this study is to contribute to the development of quality socio economic databases accessible to researchers and decision-makers in order to inform
policy design and implementation in 10 African countries, namely Benin, Burkina Faso,
Botswana, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Madagascar, Mali, Namibia and Uganda. The
specific objectives are: (i) to provide an inventory of land data on household and firm
surveys in Burkina Faso, (ii) to develop a strategy for improving land data collection
in Burkina Faso, and finally (iii) to develop a policy note to inform policy makers
