Muzondo, Ivan Farayi

FIG Commission 7 Symposium on: Land Redistribution in Southern Africa, held in Pretoria, South Afirca, 6-7 November 2002. - With abstract. - References: p. 9.

This paper identifies the three major stages that are necessary in the land distribution process as policy formulation (political), implementation (technical) and acceptability of results (social & cultural). WHile acknowledging the uncertainty and complexity of policy formulation, the paper concentrates on the technical requirements of a successful redistribution process that encourages transparency, economic sense and speed of execution based on up-to-date information systems. It also highlights added benefits in the social and cultural setting of an effective land information system that supports the implementation process.
