    Sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Africa

    Land is a critical asset and a vital source of livelihood for the majority of Ethiopians. Land, however, is becoming increasingly scarce for numerous reasons: rapid population growth, high population density in productive areas, degradation of agricultural lands, urbanization, and competing demands from different users, including investors. In a time of growing land scarcity, women’s subordinate socio-economic status heightens the importance of their access to, control of, and ability to benefit from land.

    Unlocking pathways to economic opportunity, gender equity, and agricultural innovation through land rights

    The future belongs to youth. But in many parts of the world, young women and men lack the means and the opportunity to build livelihoods and fully participate in their communities. This is especially true in rural areas, where agriculture is the foundation of the economy, but land rights remain out of reach.

    Consider the case of sub-Saharan Africa, where an estimated 10-12 million young people enter the workforce each year, but only 4 million new jobs are created, leaving the majority of young workers either unemployed or settling for menial and informal work.

    Niger

    Les terres de pâturage et de parcours soutiennent l’économie nationale et la vie de 95% de la population du Niger concernée par l’élevage. Sur le terrain, les politiques et investissements semblent donner plus d’attention aux terres de culture qu’aux terres de pâturage. Ainsi, entre 1975 et 2013, le Niger a enregistré une régression des terres de pâturage de 15% associée à une augmentation des terres de culture de 94%.

    We begin this text by clarifying what we mean by territory. In our long journey, which began about twenty years ago while working on land and natural resources for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), we understood territories as areas of continuous interaction between humans and nature. We could therefore consider the less anthropized territories (e.g. ecological reserves and pristine areas) as well as areas more affected and managed by humans which have reduced the flow of nature to a minimum (as witnessed in urban areas).
