| dc.description | Following independence in 1980 Zimbabwe embarked on measures to restore principles of equity and fairness in the ownership of, and access to, national resources, including land Systemic changes to the country’s agrarian structure have ensued from the land reform programme However, land governance structure and administration processes in Zimbabwe remain complex, unclear and fragmented In light of the significant changes to land ownership and production patterns, there is a compelling need for a comprehensive National Land Policy that integrates land administration and governance, encompassing such aspects as land tenure, access to land, land use planning, land information management, restitution, environmental sustainability and wildlife, forestry, and land disputes resolution Given the centrality of agriculture in Zimbabwe’s economy, a robust land management system will underpin growth in the sector and lead to sustainable and inclusive socio economic development, economic growth, and enhanced food and nutrition security Land tenure is at the heart of a number of rural development issues Access to land is linked to basic economic and social human rights, such as the right to food Land tenure has strong linkages to poverty reduction and food security, economic development, public administration and local government, private contract law, family and inheritance law and environmental law Given the far reaching consequences of land policy reform, an explicitly multi disciplinary approach is required to ensure that the implications of reform are understood and that the needs of the various stakeholder groups, in particular the poor and vulnerable, can be accommodated. | |
