IGAD is currently implementing a project with support of the LPI with funding from UNECA and SDC to mainstream land governance in IGAD’s programs (proposed to last for six years, in two phases of three years each) that will greatly enhance the implementation of IGADs regional strategy. Since land governance plays a central role in the region’s developmental agenda, in IGAD pillars and programs, IGAD’s efforts to mainstream land governance in its programmes is greatly hampered by weak capacity of the Secretariat. The project is aimed at helping IGAD and its member states to address the various land policy and governance issues and constraints faced by countries in East and the Horn of Africa. Concerted efforts are required in order to deliver land policy and institutional reforms.
