Land rights alternative dispute resolution mechanisms

This guide by AFRA seeks to promote the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms to settle land rights disputes involving occupiers, labour tenants, landowners, claimants and other key role-players. It further aims to educate and capacitate ADR facilitators to have an understanding of the legal provisions that govern the relationships between different right-holders of land, particularly on farm land. The targeted ADR facilitators include the following actors in the land sector; organized agricultural institutions, civil society and dispute resolution organizations, government officials, Land Rights Management Committees, attorneys, advocates and the Legal Practice Council, mediators, ward councillors, community leaders, magistrates and judges.
