Summary: Land reform can be divided broadly into land tenure reform (the establishment of secure and formalized property rights in land) and land redistribution (the transfer of land from large to small farmers). This paper therefore is in two parts. The first part focuses on property rights, giving a short narrative of some of the key land tenure and land policy issues. Though these issues remain politically sensitive, a solid consensus is emerging on how to deal with them but only once the confusion is cleared up surrounding private common property and formal and informal rights. The second part addresses redistributive land reform the redistribution of property rights in land from large to small farmers.
