"Data is key in achieving AU's 2063 agenda and in promoting responsible land related investments"
Where is land in the SDGs, NUA and Agenda 2063? And what are the challenges we face to harnessing data for land governance in Africa? The lack – or limitations – of data in many institutions on land tenure, especially on the perception of land tenure security; the sensitivity on land governance issues that lead to slow buy-in on data collection initiatives from governments; different levels of technological advancement at country levels impeding admin data; and the assumption that legal frameworks would guarantee land ownership and tenure security, therefore relegating data to a second tier approach; finally, funding challenges and COVID-19 are hindering primary data collection.
But these challenges are not insurmountable. Learn from speakers and participants what tools and strategies are available to overcome these challenges, and what we can do to improve them.
