Land Management Activity

(Liberia): USAID's Land Management Activity (LMA) is supporting increased land tenure security and customary land management in Liberia. The activity helps communities secure their communal land tenure rights, provided for by the 2018 Liberian Land Rights Act (LRA). The activity is rooted in the six-step process outlined by the LRA to manage and secure communal lands..Using FY 2022 funds, USAID will assist local communities to register and manage their customary land efficiently. As part of this process, the activity will also explore land use planning; linkages with the private sector and other USAID natural resource management activities; and potential support for the development of livelihood approaches. The LMA will demonstrate the economic value of inclusive communal land decision-making bodies. The LMA will support communities to harmonize their boundaries by negotiating and resolving existing boundary disputes with adjacent communities; and support efforts of the Liberia Land Authority to conduct confirmatory surveys as a requirement for the issuance of deeds to communities. LMA will also strengthen local land governance structures-Community Land Management and Development
