Land institutions and policies will be critical to help African countries respond to challenges of climate change, urban expansion, structural transformation, and gender equality. Together, they affect urban dwellers¡¯ ability to access productive jobs, live in decent housing, and breathe clean air; farmers¡¯ and women entrepreneurs¡¯ capacity to insure against shocks, increase productivity, and diversify income sources; and governments¡¯ ability to plan, tax property to provide services, and manage public land in a way that provides sustained local benefits by attracting investment, including via climate finance. Yet, many African land registries command little trust due to poor performance and wealth bias in service delivery.
Land Policies for Resilient and Equitable Growth in Africa draws on a wealth of data, examples, and studies from Africa and beyond to show that regulatory and institutional reforms can harness this potential by improving quality, coverage, usefulness, and sustainability of documented land rights. In doing so, these reforms create the informational foundation for sectoral policies to support job growth, structural transformation, and climate resilience.

Les institutions et les politiques fonci¨¨res transparentes seront essentielles pour aider les pays africains ¨¤ r¨¦pondre aux d¨¦fis du changement climatique, de l¡¯expansion urbaine, de la transformation structurelle et de l¡¯¨¦galit¨¦ des genres. Elles influenceront la capacit¨¦ des citadins ¨¤ acc¨¦der ¨¤ des emplois productifs, ¨¤ vivre dans des logements d¨¦cents et ¨¤ respirer de l¡¯air pur ; la capacit¨¦ des agriculteurs et des femmes entrepreneurs ¨¤ se pr¨¦munir contre les chocs, ¨¤ accro?tre leur productivit¨¦ et ¨¤ diversifier leurs sources de revenus ; et la capacit¨¦ des gouvernements ¨¤ planifier, ¨¤ taxer la propri¨¦t¨¦ pour fournir des services et ¨¤ g¨¦rer les terres domaniales afin d¡¯offrir des avantages locaux durables en attirant des investissements, notamment par le biais du financement de l¡¯action climatique.
Le rapport Des politiques fonci¨¨res pour une croissance r¨¦siliente et ¨¦quitable en Afrique s¡¯appuie sur une multitude de donn¨¦es, d¡¯exemples et d¡¯¨¦tudes provenant d¡¯Afrique et d¡¯ailleurs pour montrer que les r¨¦formes r¨¦glementaires et institutionnelles peuvent exploiter ce potentiel en am¨¦liorant la qualit¨¦, la couverture, l¡¯utilit¨¦ et la durabilit¨¦ des droits fonciers bien document¨¦s. En proposant des r¨¦formes viables et porteuses de transformations qui exploitent pleinement les opportunit¨¦s offertes par la technologie num¨¦rique, cet ouvrage fournit des orientations pratiques aux gouvernements qui d¨¦sirent am¨¦liorer le fonctionnement de leurs institutions fonci¨¨res. Il s¡¯adresse ¨¦galement aux partenaires qui appuient de telles r¨¦formes, ainsi qu¡¯aux responsables de l¡¯action publique, professionnels du secteur foncier, universitaires et membres de la soci¨¦t¨¦ civile d¨¦sireux de jeter les bases qui permettront ¨¤ l¡¯Afrique de mieux utiliser son potentiel ¨¦conomique, humain et ¨¦cologique.
