Land reform, conflict and poverty eradication in Southern Africa – case analysis of selected countries

The definition of land reform is not easy. Even in the most stable countries, it is a volatile and politically challenging process. This study seeks to critically engage with the nexus that informs land and agrarian reforms, poverty reduction and conflict prevention/reduction in five southern African countries: South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Mozambique. In essence what are some of the key prerequisites that must be adhered to in any land reform programme, if the reform initiatives are going to contribute to poverty reduction. And conflict reduction in these countries.
