Land Acquisitions: How will they Impact Transboundary Waters?

Abstract

"This report will provide overview and analysis of transboundary water management; trends in land management and land acquisitions; global food and land dynamics; and the local, national and regional level implications of land acquisitions. It also includes case illustrations from the Nile and Niger River basins. Though the issues discussed occur in multiple regions, this report focuses on sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), which is the region attracting the largest quantity of land investments. The report does not claim to provide a comprehensive answer to the issues raised here but instead seeks to identify key areas in need of improved and more extensive research."
