dc.description | The fifth conference of Land Policy in Africa (CLPA) took place in Addis Ababa at AU Headquarters from 21-24 November 2023 under the theme: “Promoting Sustainable Land Governance in Africa for Accelerating Implementing of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA)”. CLPA was co-organized by the Government of Ethiopia and the African Land Policy Center, a joint initiative of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the African Union Commission (AUC), and the African Development Bank. Participants included experts from government, academia, research, traditional authorities, other non-state actors, the private sector, and development partners. The overall objective of the conference was to deepen commitment and strengthen capacity for land policy development, implementation, and monitoring in Africa through improved access to knowledge and information in support of evidence-based land policymaking. The dialogue has also led to improved networking, partnerships, and resources for African land governance and policy. Batanai Clemence Chikwene, Programme Management Officer at the African Trade Policy Center, ECA, explained that the center has been supporting African Union member states in negotiating the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). We are currently assisting member states in developing national AfCFTA implementation strategies. We believe that the AfCFTA has the potential to transform the continent and improve the lives of ordinary people in Africa. It is a game-changing initiative. We eagerly anticipate the outcomes of the land policy conference because the AfCFTA alone will not address all the necessary changes. We hope the conference will help in developing effective land governance systems that enable access to land for the private sector, businesses, youth, and women. | en |
