The document summarizes efforts to improve land tenure security in Huambo, Angola following decades of conflict. It finds that (1) informal settlements grew rapidly during and after the war but proper management procedures were not developed; (2) the legal system does not adequately recognize traditional and informal land claims; and (3) this is increasing tenure insecurity for the poor. It recommends pilot projects to test incremental tenure recognition, building municipal cadastres and land information systems, and land readjustment to regularize informal areas while strengthening tenure rights.

Participatory Rhetorics in Public Land Acquisition and Realities in Peri Urba...Premier Publishers
This paper presents a review of the legal aspects of compulsory land acquisition in Tanzania vis-à-vis implementation of the same on the ground. The law outlines statutory requirements for consultation with current occupiers of the land that are potentially affected by a proposed acquisition. However, this investigation revealed that these provisions are seldom adhered to due to fears among the law makers and enforcers that may subsequently lead to projects being resisted or delayed. This has often led to tensions between the government and those currently occupying the land. Participation of land occupiers in the valuation and verification exercises was also found to be very limited. These in-grained process which breaches the provisions of the law, led to poor enforcement of the same which in turn limited the opportunity to identify weaknesses or strengths of the law. Furthermore, it jeopardises principles of good land governance leading to not only mistrusts of the government, but also sets a bad precedent for future attempts to guide and regulate peri-urban land development.

Building Spatial Data Infrastructures for Spatial Planning in Africa: Lagos e...Samuel Dekolo
Lagos is the fastest growing Megacity in Sub-Saharan Africa, with its population estimated to double in the first quarter of this century; it is expected to be the third largest urban agglomerations in the world. This growth is not without challenges, as the city is grappling with myriads of urban management problems. City planners lack the most important ingredient of land use management, which is Information. In spite of huge investment on spatial data infrastructures at the national and state levels of government, most land use planners at both state and local government level agencies are ignorant of existing geospatial technology portals and unlock the full potentials of information and communication technologies. A statewide survey of the spatial data infrastructures of the city’s urban and land use management ministry and agencies proves its pathetic state, thereby creating information gap void between urban development and intelligent management. The result is has led to a sporadic growth of slums and unplanned settlements which now accounts for over 60% of the city. To avoid an impasse, it is necessary to review the level of geospatial technologies used at the local level and recommend formidable means of integration in the decision making process. This paper examines the level of geospatial technologies and Spatial Data Infrastructure use in spatial planning agencies and barriers to implementation in the 20 local governments of Lagos State and suggests the way forward.

Gis technology Application in Urban Planning in Kenya - Mathenge MweheMathenge Mwehe
GIS technology is an indispensable tool that can transform the way urban planning is done in Kenya. However, Kenya urban planning system is still tied up in the outdated manual planning systems with disastrous results in return. If Kenya Is to achieve vision 2030 goal of spatial prosperity and well planned urban land uses, it’s imperative that it incorporate and integrate the GIS technology in its devolved planning offices.

Participatory & Inclusive Community Land Readjustment in Huambo, Angola, presented by DW Director Allan Cain to the UN Habitat Expert Group Meeting on Slum Upgrading using Participatory Land Readjustment, December 3-4, 2013 in Nairobi, Kenya.
This powerpoint, authored by Allan Cain, Beat Weber and Moises Festo, was presented by Development Workshop's director Allan Cain at the Annual World Bank Conference on Land and Poverty which took place from April 8 to 11, 2013 in Washington DC.
Despite a rather challenging environment, land readjustment in Angola has the potential to become an important tool for urban planning. The presentation shows that, while there is still no legal framework for land readjustment and a very limited culture of participation in urban planning processes, growing land markets and strong private sector partners can make land readjustment a viable option for local governments.
Presented to the PILaR Book Project Workshop, Istanbul Technical University, Turkey, 22nd to 23rd October, 2013.
Challenges: A better understanding of the dynamics and formal and informal regulations that govern the urban land markets are key factors in the process of urbanization.
Development Workshop's Director Allan Cain presented a paper on DW’s work at the PILaR Book Project Workshop at Istanbul Technical University, Turkey, which ran from October 22 to 23, 2013.
Most urban growth in Angola has been unregulated expansion at the periphery of cities, leading to large and still growing informal settlements around an older urban core. This paper maps out a model of “land readjustment” or “land pooling” that may be appropriate in the context of Angola’s current urban crisis. The paper presents two cases illustrating the introduction of land readjustment, one successful and the other not, with the aim of learning from and adapting the approach in future public land and settlement policies in Angola.

The Angolan government has committed itself to the New
Urban Agenda in Quito, Ecuador, in October 2016, which
will ensure that cities and human settlements are places
where all people can enjoy equal rights and opportunities,
as well as their fundamental freedoms.
The right to the city includes the social function of land,
promoting a secure land tenure, which is economically
accessible with basic services, to achieve the realization of
the right to adequate housing, with special attention, the
security of land tenure for women as key to their
empowerment.
The project purpose is to provide specialist technical assistance and advisory services on tenure security
within slum upgrading initiatives in the Southern African region and share lessons learnt with others in the region. Authored by Lauren Royston.
Allan Cain presented on the Right to the City and the social production of habitat at Angola's National Conference for the Day of Cities. Development Workshop's research demonstrates that more housing was built socially by people with their own resources than the combined total of State and private sector during the last decade.

Allan Cain, DW Director, gave a presentation on "Housing Micro-Finance & Informal Land Markets: the case of KixiCrédito Angola" at the Panel of the Centre for African Housing Finance Habitat 3 Conference on Informal Settlements that took place in Pretoria, South Africa from April 7 to 8, 2016
Angola has made a declaration of the political will of the State to resolve the urban problems associated with the post-conflict shortfall in the supply of housing. Public commitments have been made by senior political officials regarding the urgency of ensuring that each citizen has a decent place to live (the most important being the promise made by the head of state in 2008 – to build 1 million homes). From the practical point of view, Angola’s housing policy is still being developed along with a formalised housing sector programme.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Improving Land Tenure Security in Huambo, Angola - 29 July 2013
1. Improving Land Tenure Security in
Huambo, Angola
Presented to:
Tenure Security Facility Southern Africa
Cities Alliance
Urban LandMark
by
Development Workshop Angola
Pretoria – 29 July 2013
2. Legal and institutional context
1. Angola was affected by a protracted conflict: the struggle for
independence in from 1961 to 1975 and post-independence
civil conflict from 1975 until 2002.
2. During this period, much of the population fled from the
insecure rural areas to cities like Huambo where the conflict
was most intense.
3. Since peace in 2002, significant numbers have returned to
Huambo from coastal areas that were relatively safer during
the war.
4. During and following the war, peri-urban, informal housing
settlements grew rapidly but legal and administrative
procedures for managing these areas were not developed.
5. There is an absence of up-to-date municipal land cadastres
and a registry of housing and real-estate.
3. Legal Environment
• Angola has inherited their legal framework from the
Portuguese Civil Code which did not easily accommodate
itself to African land tenure practice.
• The post independence constitution affirmed the State to
be the owner and manager of land.
• Land Laws of 1991 and 2004 affirmed that colonial
cadastre as the basis of land titling therefore weakening
traditional land claims and removed provisions for
‘occupation in good-faith’.
• Titles for urban land are only issued in fully urbanised
planned areas but by-laws for the regularisation of peri-
urban land have still not been published.
4. Current Oportunities
• The Angolan Government has adopted an ambitious
policy that promotes the construction of one
million houses by 2012
• Through this programme the Government aims
to eliminate most slum settlements known as
Musseques.
• In this process the Government intends to facilitate
self-help construction of 685,000 homes
• The Land Law of 2004 reaffirms the authority of the
state as the primary manager and owner of all land
resources
5. Increasing Tenure Insecurity for the Poor
• The poor often occupy valuable inner-city urban real-estate.
• Urban Plans involve Forced Removals of the Poor from the Urban
Centre and the creation of township-style settlments on the
perifery on low-valued land.
• Expropriation of the poor’s assets deepens poverty.
6. Research hypotheses
1. Entry points to investigate current land management
practices and the progress of institution-building in this
area are the following:
• that management practices in Huambo were weakened
and a low priority given during the years of conflict (1975
– 2002)
• that local municipal administrations have interest in
developing proper procedures as a basis for generating
tax revenue based on their new mandate under Law 7-02
• that confusion of institutional roles and competencies
produce a reversion to informal processes;
• that support from central government has been
inadequate.
7. Project Methodology
The project has several components:
• A legal study including:
– examination and of the existing legislation
– how legislation is implemented in practice in Huambo
– why Municipal Administrations do not follow proscribed
procedures
• A household survey on domestic land acquisition.
• Scope of how practices might change & be adapted
• Evaluation of the support to Municipal
Administrations that might be necessary
8. Legal Tools
The following are the only legally defined
designations of formal tenure that have been
codified in the Land Law or Civil Code:
a) Precarious (temporary) occupation rights
a) Surface rights
b) Customary useful domain to rural communities (not
yet regulated)
c) Useful civic domain (not yet regulated)
d) Private property rights to urban land (applies to
properties designated during colonial era)
9. Administrative Tools in Practice in Huambo
1. Attestation of Residence – witnessed by 2 neighbours
2. Declaration of Bairro Commission – witnessed by
Soba
3. Declaration of Comuna Administration – signed by
administrator.
4. Licence of Occupation (Licencia de Arrematação) –
valid for 3 years renewable until Title of Surface Rights
is issued.
5. Licence for allotment or sub-division - following
municipal urban plan
6. Licence for delimiting or fencing the site.
7. Licence for construction – respecting building codes
and local urban by-laws

13. Household land acquisition survey
1. Sampling using a GIS-based settlement typology
• Formal areas
including the old
colonial city
• Semi-Formal housing
built informally but
aligned for future
infrastructure;
• Informal settlements
or musseques where
urban infrastructure
not planned.
16. Documentation & Tenure Claims
• In formal housing areas 30% of occupants have no proof
of access in 70% have a written purchase contract, but
none with legal titles.
• In semi-formal areas 51% have no proof of access, 5%
only have a verbal agreement, 37% have a written
contract and 7% have a licence de arremetação. This is
the only housing type where this document is found.
• In informal housing areas, 45% have no proof of access,
7% have a verbal agreement, 13% have a verbal
agreement with witnesses, 3% have a verbal agreement
witnessed by officials and 31% have a written contract.
17. Claims to legitimacy of occupation
• 29% of cases claim that the Soba or bairro coordinator
gave permission.
• 5% of respondents say that they had permission from
the Municipal Government or a Municipal Government
official
• 5% of cases in informal housing areas say that the land
was empty at the time of occupying.
• 13% of cases feel their occupation is valid in because
they have a document.
• 21% of occupants in informal housing areas feel their
occupation is valid because the owner gave them
permission to stay.
• 24% of occupants in informal housing areas feel their
occupation is valid because they received an assurance
that it was valid from a friend or family member.
18. Conclusions on Tenure Security
• There is a market in land and plots of land in Huambo
city and the scale of this appears to be increasing.
• Many of the transactions go unrecorded in informal
housing areas though in other areas they are usually
recorded with sales and purchase documents.
• The transactions are perceived as secure by an
overwhelming majority of actors,
• few transfers can be backed up by legally-defensible
documents.
• Even where the State has been involved in land and
house distribution, it is arguable whether the
documentation is complete and legally defensible.
• Many of the middle class and elite also not have full
legal titles to the land and housing they occupy.
19. Recommendations
1. Recognize the right of occupation in ‘good faith’ ,
the majority of urban residents purchased or acquired
their land through some other legitimate mechanism
and most have documents or testimonials to prove it.
2. Legalize the principle of incremental tenure,
essential aspects are:
– Intermediate between full land rights and basic
recognition of occupation
– Evolutive through manifestations of these rights to
the full rights;
– Defined– with respect to issues of transferability,
compensation and limitations
20. Recommendations
3. Right to information into effective practice , the
obligation exists for the government and its partners to
publicly disclose their plans, interventions, land
concessions and urban upgrading programs.
4. Learning through pilot projects , establish the
mechanisms for gradual evolution of occupation rights to
titles.
5. Build municipal land information systems (cadastres)
map, survey and register with information on each land
parcel having a unique identifier . Land information
systems should be developed incrementally and can in
the future provide information for land taxes or
transferres.
6. Secure the land rights of women

24. Piloting Land Readjustment in Huambo
Land Pooling or readjustment provides a market mechanism to
regularize informal settlements, providing sustainable
infrastructure and access to services while at the same time
strengthening the rights of tenure and protection of assets of
the poor. DW has piloted two land readjustment pilot projects
with the Municipal Adminsitration of Huambo.
