dc.descriptionLand resources in the Kingdom of Eswatini are under increasing pressure, which is driven by a growing population, the rising demand for inter alia irrigated agriculture, industrial forestry, livestock grazing, biodiversity conservation and uncontrolled rural settlement. A key technical issue is the absence of an effective land administration and management system (cadastre) that can be used by all land-related organizations. Most land in Eswatini is held in trust by the King on behalf of all citizens; this form of customary tenure is quite secure but does not enable collateralization or the transfer of user rights. Under traditional management and administration, the record of land assignment rests within the memory of the Chief and his council members When land is allocated, the Chief or his representative walks the boundary and lays markers that delineate the area. These are normally respected by all members of the community. The grant of user rights to family groups by allocation is not documented and the land not delineated; this has created challenges for rural land administration and management.
