Land degradation is a serious problem that crosses national borders, ecological zones and

remedial measures. LADA approaches land degradation as a biophysical, social, economic

ecosystem functions, negatively affects biodiversity and water resources, and increases
vulnerability to climate change.

Land disputes are increasingly recognised as dynamic processes that are generated by (perceived) land tenure insecurity. Conflicts, however, can also lead to intensified struggle for land, especially when politico-military elites seek to consolidate their power base and reward their supporters by extending control over land as part of their war strategies.
