During the last decade land acquisitions by foreign investors in developing countries have accelerated tremendously. This project aims to enhance our understanding about the determinants and effects of this process. First, what determines where the acquis
The proposed project concerns a grant of one million units of account (UA 1000,000), i.e. CFAF 860,000,000, under Pillar III of the TAF, to provide Mali with a consensual National Spatial Planning Scheme (SNAT) that will serve as a long-term territorial intervention framework.

LAND-at-scale is a land governance support programme for developing countries. The livelihood of a large part of the world’s population depends directly on having secure access to land. LAND-at-scale aims to contribute to fair and just tenure security and access to land and natural resources for all.

Competition over land and natural resources is growing, and so are land-related disputes. Over 90% of smallholder farmers and pastoralists access land through customary tenure systems.
Knowledge management and learning are at the heart of the LAND-at-scale program. RVO, LANDac and the International Land Coalition (ILC) will collaborate to implement the knowledge management (KM) component of the program.

LAND-at-scale aims to contribute to fair and just tenure security and access to land and natural resources for all. This will lead to more sustainable and efficient use of land and natural resources for food, housing and production. It will also reduce conflicts and competing claims over land.
