Support for improved land management
Senegal is one of the countries with which BMZ concluded a partnership to encourage reforms in 2019. Land sector reform was selected as one of the priority reforms supported by German development cooperation under the reform partnership. The project objective is to enable national and deconcentrated services, local authorities and local stakeholders to improve land tenure security for the local population in selected regions of Senegal. To achieve this objective, the following outputs are defined:
- Improving governance of land policy and land management in the pilot municipalities
- Stregthening capacities in deconcentrated services as well as in the private and training sectors for implementing procedures to secure land rights
- Improving the legal and regulatory framework for securing land rights
The project strategy is oriented towards four main lines of action: capacity development, demarcation of the selected municipalities, participatory development of a forward-looking land-use planning tool incorporating land-use and land-allocation zoning, and a systematic land inventory. The second and final phase of the project runs from 2024 to 2026.
