Grant Description

Burkina Faso - LAND TENURE PROJECT - Site-Specific Land Tenure Interventions Activity: This Project Activity will ensure that both the Legal and Procedural Change and Communication Project Activity and the Institutional Development and Capacity Building Project Activity yield their intended benefits across municipalities and in targeted agricultural development zones.

The Site-Specific Land Tenure Interventions Project Activity employs a cluster approach to project design, based around 15 clusters, each containing up to three to four municipalities.

Specifically, MCC Funding will support: (i) participatory land use management planning in up to 47 rural municipalities, including training, mapping, operational costs, and necessary assistance by regional and provincial institutions; and (ii) clarifying and securing rights in developed zones, including in up to eight existing agricultural schemes subject to the phasing approach, in the new MCC-funded irrigation scheme, and associated with approximately 14,500 parcels in Ganzourgou province.
