| Summary: | The land governance assessment framework
(LGAF) is an innovative and participatory diagnostic tool
that assesses the state of land governance in a country. The
LGAF has optional modules for other topics such as
large-scale land acquisition, forest land, and
regularization of rights in urban areas. In South Africa,
large-scale land acquisition was selected as an additional
thematic area, as was the case in Nigeria. A framework of
approximately 21 land governance indicators guides the
process in these thematic areas, each divided into three or
four dimensions. In South Africa the LGAF process began in
2011. It was started by the World Bank and implemented by
urban landmark. This booklet summarizes the results of the
LGAF process in South Africa. Section one gives
introduction. Section two contextualizes key issues around
land, looking at the history, situation today, and the
cadastral system. Section three provides a broad overview of
where South Africa is doing well, and where not so well, in
terms of land governance issues. Sections 4A to 4F present
the LGAF findings for each of the six thematic areas, each
starting with performance against the LGAF scorecard for
that thematic area, and then discussing key issues. Section
five summarizes the findings and main recommendations which
emerged during the LGAF process in South Africa. Section six
concludes this resource, and suggests some key areas for
further examination. |
