Policy brief

Africa

This policy brief addresses the issue of land rights and land administration in South Africa, particularly the challenge of bridging the gap between common law property rights and customary or informal land rights. It highlights the importance of a well-functioning land administration system as essential for securing tenure for all landholders. The brief emphasises the need for context-specific research and empirical data to guide policymakers in transforming South Africa's land administration system, ensuring it is inclusive and effective in addressing both formal and informal land rights. It builds on previous discussions in earlier policy briefs, providing insights into the ongoing research that can inform policy reforms for improving land governance in South Africa.
