PUBLIC LAND ALLOCATION GUIDELINES 2024
The document focuses on the management and allocation of public land in Ghana, which accounts for 20% of the country's land ownership. It highlights issues such as corruption, inefficiency, and inequity in the allocation process, with the Lands Commission often criticized for lack of transparency and being perceived as the most bribery-prone public institution.
As part of the Land and Corruption in Africa Phase II (2021–2025) project, the Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII) conducted a review and policy dialogue to address these challenges. The resulting Policy Brief proposes standardized guidelines for public land allocation to ensure transparency, accountability, and sustainable use while tackling corruption and fostering public trust.
LAND POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS GHANA 2024
The document addresses the pervasive issue of land corruption in Ghana, highlighting its presence in areas like land administration, customary land tenure, public land management, and large-scale investments. It discusses public concerns about corruption within institutions like the Lands Commission, which is perceived as Ghana's most bribery-prone public agency. Efforts to reform the land sector, such as the Ghana Land Administration Project (2003–2018), have had limited success due to persistent gaps in legal frameworks and enforcement.
In response, the Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII), as Transparency International's local chapter, has developed policy recommendations to enhance transparency and accountability in land governance. These recommendations aim to address systemic weaknesses by targeting the Cabinet, Parliament, and key government agencies to effectively prevent and combat land corruption in Ghana.
