From November 14 to 17 this year, Land Policy-Initiative (LPI) will hold the second edition of the Conference on Land Policy in Africa (CLPA-217). LPI is a joint programme of the tripartite consortium consisting of the Africa Union Commission (AUC), the African Development Bank (AfDB) and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA).
The 2017 edition of the conference aims at deepening capacity for land policy in Africa and improving its implementation. This year, it will be held under the theme: “The Africa We Want: Achieving socioeconomic transformation through inclusive and equitable access to land by the youth”.
The conference will include plenary and parallel sessions, side events, exhibitions, and the use of social media to reach the youth, which is the main target audience of the event.
