In The Gambia, 67% of all court disputes are related to land conflicts, Hamat N.K. Bah, Minister of Lands, Regional Government and Religious Affairs of The Gambia, said during the “Africa Affordable Housing Partnership Investor Session” held within the framework of WUF13, APA-Economics reports.
According to the minister, the high number of land disputes has made it necessary to develop a new national land policy in the country.
He noted that the reforms envisage the digitalization of land registration, the creation of a unified land information system, the preparation of cadastral maps, and the modernization of land legislation.
H. Bah stated that the new policy will help facilitate investors’ access to land resources, reduce legal uncertainty, and improve the investment climate.
The minister added that, with the support of the World Bank, work has already begun on updating land legislation, digitalization, and establishing a cadastral system. According to him, the goal is to increase transparency in land governance, reduce disputes, and accelerate the functioning of the land market.
