<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The node promotes research and strengthens human and institutional capacities on land tenure. Its research centre produces and analyses data to transform land tenure policies in Francophone west Africa, taking into account subregional integration policies and information gathered from regional missions. The centre provides a library for research and space for exchange for post graduate students, researchers, and policy makers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capacity building <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since its establishment, the node has strengthened the capacities of various actors through exchange and capacity building workshops. It has held several curricula review workshops in Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Benin and Burkina Faso based on the guidelines for the development of curricula on land governance in Africa . Following the guidelines, UGB has introduced a Master\u2019s degree in land governance and territory management. Furthermore, the node has delivered capacity building on land tenure in west Africa to parliamentarians and held a forum on land tenure and youth to bring more young people into the field of land governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Policy Reform <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The node has organised national policy dialogues with municipalities in Senegal, National Councils and other governance structures that focus on the revival of land reform in Senegal, the universal land registry project and the institutionalisation of land management tools; these have led to the establishment of the land observatory in the Senegal River Valley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
