Abstract

The recent country scoping studies and the derived synthesis report on “Land Governance in Southern Africa” provides a framework for describing land governance in the region, see website for the Symposium on Land Governance, 3-4 Sept. 2019, NUST, Windhoek, Namibia, see: http://landsymposium.nust.na/.
The eight country case studies together with the synthesis report will form the basis for future research, capacity development and policy innovation in the region. Ensuring that this happens in a systematic and coherent manner requires that the NUST-NELGA Hub develop this “Research and Capacity Development Strategy for Land Governance Innovation in Southern Africa” for the period 2020 to 2025.
The strategic initiatives outlined in the Research and Capacity Development Strategy for Land Governance Innovation in southern Africa is closely aligned with the major African and International Initiatives. The strategy supports and draws inspiration from the African Land Policy Initiative and the Framework and Guidelines on Land Policy in Africa as well as the African Agenda 2063, the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs), the FAO Voluntary Guidelines on Responsible Governance of Tenure (VGGTs) and the World Bank Land Governance Assessment Framework (LGAF).
