Past Event

World Bank Group TICAD Seminar #38 (World Bank Tokyo Online Morning Seminar #195) “Land Policies for Resilient and Equitable Growth in Africa”

At this online seminar, Klaus Deininger, Lead Economist, Development Economics (DEC), introduced the main findings of the report “Land Policies for Resilient and Equitable Growth in Africa”.

Global evidence suggests that well-functioning land institutions and appropriate land policies could greatly help African countries respond to the challenges of climate change, urban expansion, structural transformation, and gender equality. However, evidence from many African countries suggests that institutional shortcomings, that are often rooted in outdated laws and regulations, limit these benefits. The Land Policies for Resilient and Equitable Growth in Africa report analyzes these shortcomings and proposes policy responses for African countries’ unique and varied contexts.
