“…Even if profitable projects exist, legal restrictions on land sales (Sundet 2004), limited commercial value of the land (Galiani and Schargrodsky 2005;Payne et al 2008), and social or political considerations that limit foreclosure may jeopardize realization of credit effects. This implies that such credit may be realized less readily than is sometimes suggested.…”

While early attempts at land titling in Africa were often unsuccessful, the need to secure land rights has kindled renewed interest, in view of increased demand for land, a range of individual and communal rights available under new laws, and reduced costs from combining information technology with participatory methods. We used a difference-in-difference approach to assess the effects of a low-cost land registration program in Ethiopia, which covered some 20 million plots over five years, on investment. Despite policy constraints, the program increased land-related investment and yielded benefits significantly above the cost of implementation.

Sanitation interventions routinely overlook the implications of secure tenure for investment on the part of households. Drawing upon primary field research in Dakar, this paper presents a citywide sanitation planning framework that combines existing sanitation planning approaches with householders' investment logic as a function of their tenure security and status. The resulting framework, the Sanitation Cityscape, maps what is happening to faecal material on a citywide scale and why, thus providing a snapshot of the sanitation status of the city and a rationale for targeted interventions along the sanitation service chain. The paper offers an approach for policymakers and practitioners to narrow the decisionmaking process for citywide sanitation service provision. It aims to target urban sanitation interventions that are appropriate to the urban tenure mix, including non-networked systems, and a greater emphasis on widening the scope of sanitation service provision to include tenure-neutral operational activities, such as faecal sludge management.

“…The current debate increasingly revolves around the question of empirical evidence for the benefits and pitfalls of land formalisation (Benjaminsen 2006;Payne et al 2007). Thereby the question is raised whether titling programmes are the most effective and appropriate means of realising the social and economic objectives claimed or whether these could also be realised by improving the way existing systems of tenure operate or adopting more gradual shifts from existing informal regimes to more formal systems (Benjaminsen 2006;Payne et al 2007). Benjaminsen (2006) stresses the importance of examining whether there is a demand for formalisation, whose demand it is and for what kind of formalisation.…”
