Land law and agricultural production in the Eastern Caribbean

A regional overview of issues and options

The report highlights commonalties and differences among prevalent land tenure, land use and land administration problems and practices affecting agriculture in the OECS, as well as policy and legislative responses to those problems. Recommendations for amending, updating or harmonizing existing national laws, as appropriate, are also proposed. A key message which has emerged from this study is the need for strong political commitment to ensure that the policies are translated into action and that legislation is enforced. There is also need for an integrated, participatory approach rather than a top down approach to the formulation of land use policy and legislation to ensure that all stakeholders – government, private sector and civil society have a voice in the formulation process. There is need for strengthened capacity and increased sharing of information and knowledge in all areas of land use planning and administration. Moreover, efforts to harmonize land use legislation should continue across the region.
