Success to Extend

The time taken at the start of the project to prepare the groundwork and secure the support of traditional authorities and chiefdom communities is paying dividends in the progress of fieldwork to record homestead landholdings in four pilot areas. As a result, the EU have approved a short 3-month extension to continue the work using remaining funds. This has enabled the project to expand its work into 4 new chiefdoms adjoining the pilot areas, following requests of community leaders and elders to do so that their communities too can benefit from clearer, more certain land rights and better land governance that sustains these gains. For the remainder of the 320 or so cheifdoms across the Kingdom, they will have to wait for the national roll out coming in the near future.
