    This paper aims to provide a synthesis and commentary with recommendations of the papers given and the discussions which took place at the technical workshop on Improving tenure security for the rural poor in Africa in October 2006. The workshop brought together a wide range of persons from civil society academics, representatives from NGOs the FAO, the principal sponsors of the workshop, and from some donors working on land issues from all over sub-Saharan Africa with an emphasis on Anglophon e Africa. The views expressed in this workshop are of significance. They are not the official positions of governments but they are representative of grass-roots involvement in land relations in Africa and are therefore entitled to respect.

    Improving tenure security for the poor in Africa: Ghana country case study
    Towards the improvement of tenure security for the poor in Ghana: Some thoughts and observations

    This paper provides an overview of the land tenure situation in Ghana. It focuses on the rural poor in terms of their access to natural resources, their vulnerability to major threats and the causes of their tenure insecurity. It also suggests approaches to securing property rights as a means for improving their livelihoods. Activities to enhance tenure security for the poor and vulnerable in Ghanaian rural communities require a comprehensive review of laws on the rights of women, protection of rights of the rural communities in the event of compulsory land acquisitions and enhancement of tenure security through formalization and registration. The paper also advocates recognition of secondary rights as part of a comprehensive rural programme on formalization of holdings and as the prerequisite for any land titling programme.
