Consensus, Confusion, and Controversy : Selected Land Reform Issues in Sub-Saharan Africa

This publication examines issues relating to i) land tenure reform (the establishment of secure and formalised property rights in land) and ii) redistributive land reform (the redistribution of property rights in land from large to small farmers). The study highlights the case of South Africa because it is argued that success there would have significant regional and international implications for land redistribution; and it outlines a policy framework for redistributive land reform.
