Cameroon: Civic society asks for more transparency in land title awarding process
Wednesday, 05 July 2017 16:29
In Cameroon, a local civic society coalition launched last Monday, a petition to boost transparency in the provisioning of land and mining deeds, in addition to taking into account communities’ opinions.
“The goal is to initiate a participative approach in the management of natural resources, in a country where lands are highly sought after by companies operating in the forest, mining and agro-food industries. In its petition, the civic society group recommended ways to improve transparency and participation of communities in the process to award land titles, which is at the source of many conflicts in the country,” says news website Koaci.
The group’s recommendations will be presented to the parliament on July 6, 2017.
