W2F COMMENT: Bill on Agriculture Holdings 2017
Bill: Rural Development and Land Reform
Land reform beneficiaries should be able to choose the kind of landholding entity they want to form. Counter to the DRDLR’s Policy Paper on CPAs, people should not be prevented from forming CPAs in communal areas or where traditional authorities (TAs) exist, as this would deny people’s ability to choose the landholding entity that best fits their needs and their land tenure practices (including customary practices).
