Abstract

In recent years, most sub-Saharan African cities have been urged to leverage the rising land values resulting from rapid urbanization through the instruments of land-based financing (LBF) to finance basic infrastructure projects. However, a significant concern of LBF in the Global South has been its limited application due to institutional and technical challenges. The study examined how institutional structures and legal frameworks in Ghana influence the implementation and effectiveness of LBF mechanisms and the role capacity building, technological infrastructure and stakeholder engagement play in enhancing the operational effectiveness and public acceptance of LBF in Ghana. Using the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area, Ghana as a case study, interviews were conducted with urban planners, policy makers, developers, local government officials and key informants and content analysis was used to analyse LBF policy documents. Key findings highlight significant legal gaps in the legal frameworks governing LBF, which can result in inconsistent application across municipalities and undermine revenue generation. Additionally, the study highlights the challenges of property valuation and tax collection due to inadequate and targeted capacity building programs for staff, technological infrastructure deficiencies, ineffective interagency collaboration, and limited stakeholder engagement, which ultimately affects the legitimacy and success of LBF initiatives. The study recommends the implementation LBF through legislative reforms, capacity-building programs, technological infrastructure investments, and interagency collaboration, emphasizing stakeholder engagement and transparent communication for effective implementation.

24. Herders' Haven or Farmers' Foe? Exploring Multi-Stakeholder Perspectives on Grazing Reserves and Transhumance Corridors.

Abstract

This study assesses the role of grazing reserves and transhumance corridor systems in enhancing sustainable transhumant pastoralism, drawing on the collaborative planning theory as its theoretical framework. This research aims to understand how these land management strategies impact the sustainability of pastoral practices from the viewpoints of various stakeholders, including farmers, herders, policymakers and local community leaders. This study adopted a mixed-method research design and an exploratory sequential mixed-method approach. Based on the research approach, this study first gathers data through key informant interviews and, subsequently, cross-sectional surveys of 254 crop farmers and 82 herders in the Sekyere Kumawu and Sekyere Afram Plains Districts of Ghana. The findings indicate mixed perceptions among stakeholders regarding delineating grazing reserves and transhumance corridor systems. While most farmers and herders recognise the potential benefits of delineating grazing reserves and corridors in reducing conflict and promoting environmental sustainability, concerns persist about land rights and the flexibility of resource use. While herders see these policies as providing secure grazing territories, farmers fear losing land for agricultural expansion. This study also notes a "paradox of pastoral land tenure", where herders gain access to grazing resources but face mobility restrictions. Socioeconomic factors like age, education, experience, and association membership significantly influence stakeholders' perceptions, particularly among herders directly dependent on these resources. These findings underline the complexities in policymaking for land use, emphasising the need for inclusive and well-informed approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
