Governing sustainable palm oil supply: Disconnects, complementarities, and antagonisms between state regulations and private standards

December, 2019
Global

The global palm oil value chain has grown in complexity; stakeholder relationships and linkages are increasingly shaped by new public and private standards that aim to ameliorate social and environmental costs while harnessing economic gains. Regulatory initiatives in the emerging policy regime complex struggle to resolve sector‐wide structural performance issues: pervasive land conflicts, yield differences between companies and smallholders, and carbon emissions arising from deforestation and peatland conversion.

Often, approaches to investment-related land rights violations are reactive, rather than proactive and preventative: legal support is usually provided after communities have been negatively impacted, displaced or evicted — and after lives have been lost, property destroyed, local waters and soils polluted, and communities devastated. In such cases, legal support has a limited chance of reversing the damage caused.

The context of Nyanza-Lac is both complex and interesting for researching land issues. It has a very high population density (more than 50% of the whole population of Makamba Province lives in Nyanza-Lac) and attracts flows of intra- and interregional migrants in search of fertile land and income-generating opportunities in the area.

November, 2024
Burkina Faso

Le Burkina Faso est un pays sahélien, enclavé au cœur de l’Afrique de l’Ouest, dont l’économie s’appuie essentiellement sur l’agriculture et l’élevage. L’avènement du changement climatique, la prolifération des sociétés immobilières, le boom minier et les mouvements de populations ont contribué à augmenter la pression foncière et exacerbé la pauvreté et les conflits fonciers, mettant à rude épreuve le vivre ensemble. Cette pression foncière est accrue par le déplacement massif de la population dû à la crise sécuritaire qui secoue le pays depuis près de dix ans.

Prévention et gestion alternative des conflits fonciers ruraux au Burkina Faso

Reports & Research
November, 2024
Burkina Faso

Au Burkina Faso, on constate que la gestion des ressources foncières n’a jamais été sans poser de problèmes depuis les années 1960. La plupart de ces difficultés sont dues au fait que les populations rurales vivent sur des acquis traditionnels où la terre est une propriété lignagère ou familiale reconnue par toutes les autorités coutumières. La faible sécurisation des terres rurales par des actes administratifs ou juridiques s’explique par le dysfonctionnement des structures et instances de sécurisation foncière et de gestion des conflits instituées par la loi.

Considering the challenges of conflict management, mediation, and dispute resolution in numerous countries, several LAND-at-scale (LAS) interventions aim to strengthen and improve access to institutions of dispute resolution. Recent LAS interventions build on previous efforts since 2002 by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs to strengthen land tenure security, increasingly recognising durable and equitable solutions, especially for marginalised people.
