Côte d’Ivoire: IDA grants CFA27.4 billion to improve rural land management
Friday, 11 May 2018 17:24
On 9 May 2018, the Ivorian Council of Ministers approved a CFA27.4 billion loan agreement granted by the International Development Association (IDA). The amount will be used to finance the rural land tenure national program, Agence Ivoirienne de Presse (AIP) reports.
“This highly anticipated project strengthens institutional capacity required to support and implement the national program for rural land tenure and customary land rights registration in some rural areas,” said Anne Ouloto (photo), government spokesperson and minister of health, environment and sustainable development.
AIP indicates that the funding is part of the operationalization of the Rural Land Agency (Afor) created in 2016 to “develop rural land tenure’s strategies and programs and mobilize related resources”.
