Land Policy and Reform to Support Sustainable Use of Land
Williams P. Ganileo
For a nation to become economically independent, it needs a radical land reform that will assist to drive sound and effective land uses and policies to drive allocation and distribution of rural land for uses in turn to drive market flows, build industrial growth, boost jobs thus balancing the import syndrome in the country. After 35 years of independence, the national parliament of Vanuatu has enacted legislations to manage the process of leasing land for development, prepared national policies, guidelines and even signed Multilateral Environment Agreements (MEA) and UN conventions to assist manage land and its natural resources. These policies, legislations, MEA's and conventions is the door way to economic independence but there are still limitations to put these into action to prove our desire after all these agreements, policies, laws and MEA's have been gazetted to become the action agenda for the country.
