“This IGAD Regional Trade Policy is an important step towards the realization of the aspirations of the IGAD Member States by facilitating economic integration in the region. The IGAD Regional Trade Policy is designed mainly as a cooperation framework that seeks to guide the IGAD Members States to promote trade integration in a more flexible policy environment.”
Dr Workneh Gebeyehu, IGAD Executive Secretary

“The IGAD Regional Trade Policy was prepared with the support of the AfDB non-lending project “Improving Trade Facilitation Environment in the IGAD Region Through Knowledge Generation and Capacity Building”.

The National Women’s Land Rights Agenda for South Sudan is a reflection of gender and land governance challenges and issues in South Sudan. Most distinctive among the challenges and issues concern the legal and normative, formal and informal practices that intersect land, salient are the traditional barriers that inhibit women from enjoying the rights accorded to them in the existing legal frameworks of South Sudan and regional and international treaties promoting the rights of women.

Land Reform in Kenya has gone through a process starting with the preparation of Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2009 on National Land Policy and the Constitution 2010.

The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) in 2020 commissioned the National Gender Assessment of the Land Sector in Ethiopia to inform its policies, programmes, and operational work for promoting women’s empowerment and land rights security in the region (IGAD, 2020).

Land is an asset that allows its owner access to loans to build their houses and to set up small businesses in cities. In rural areas, land is essential for livelihoods, subsistence, and food security.

The “Improving Land Governance in the IGAD Region” project aims at facilitating implementation of the AU Declaration on Land Issues and Challenges in accordance with the Framework and Guidelines on Land Pol- icy in Africa, to facilitate access to land and security of land rights for all land users in the IGAD region, especially vulnerable groups such as pastoralists, women, and youth.

Uganda’s 1995 Constitution set the country on an un- precedented governance path because of its explicit provisions on gender equality and women’s rights, its declaration that land belongs to the citizens of Uganda, and its provisions for a participatory, decentralised system of government.

Sudan is highly diverse in natural resources, cultures, and demographics (UNEP, 2017). Sudan is the site of protracted conflicts that fuel displacement, reinforce social and environmental shocks, and undermine growth in rural areas (OCHA, 2012).

As a new country emerging from decades of war, South Sudan has tried to establish legal and policy frameworks and institutions of land governance from scratch.

Land in Uganda has been identified as one of the most important household assets for promoting agricultural production and economic enhancement. Women who form the biggest percentage of the country’s population majorly dominate this sector.

Kenya occupies 582,646Km2 of land, which is categorised as public, community, and private. The Kenyan economy is predominantly agricultural, and approximately 80% of the population lives in rural areas and derives employment and livelihoods from agricultural activities, hence the importance of land access for rural livelihoods. Approximately 51% of the Kenyan population is female, but the majority do not own land. Failure to own land among women makes them vulnerable as it is a key factor of production, especially in the rural areas.

The country assessments provide greater clarity on existing stereotypical attitudes and practices about land; considers the roles and responsibilities, norms and rules in access to resources and services as well as decision-making and power and control between girls, boys, women and men; barriers and opportunities faced by women and men in access, control and ownership of land and; participation and representation in formal and informal land administration and management bodies.

This national gender assessment of the land sector in Ethiopia has the explicit purpose of informing the policy, programming, and operational work of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD). It seeks to support women’s empowerment in improving women’s land ownership in the region.

Constitutional and legal frameworks of IGAD countries tend to be progressive with land and gender equality. The Constitution of Djibouti (2010) stipulates that the State guarantees equality before the law without distinction between sex and property right.

Land in the IGAD region is synonymous with identity, culture, power, development, food and human security. Land and natural resources are abundant . In instances of good land governance (secure tenure, access and use), land and natural resources provide in many ways for IGAD citizens.

The Government of Sudan (GoS)) recognised the need to develop land policy, land legislation, and functioning land institutions and the supporting services; given that different contexts have different patterns of land use and land holding, which are influenced by the political system, geographical, economic, social, cultural and historical dimensions.

This Gender Responsive Prototype National Land Policy (NLP) for the IGAD was drafted in July 2020 and submitted to the IGAD for validation by focal points from Member States and representatives of key stakeholders.

This contains a selection of critical participatory tools that aim at not just raising awareness about gender equality on land but also causing a transformative shift in the way land businesses are conducted.

This handbook provides step-by-step guidance to IGAD Member States land administration sectors on integrating gender and inclusion issues and promoting gender equality in the design and execution of land administration projects.

The IGAD region is characterized by migratory movements driven by multiple political, economic, and environmental factors making it witness one of the highest levels of displacement and migration anywhere on the  African Continent. The countries in the region are also simultaneously origin, transit, and destination for migrants and refugees, who are increasingly using the same routes. The majority of these migratory movements are within the IGAD region or to neighboring regions, with the migratory flows driven in part by historical and cultural ties, adaptation to increasingly hostile environmental conditions, asylum from conflict, violence, and disasters as well as the search for better livelihood opportunities.

The four modules developed in the months following the assessment included: Pedagogy, Psychosocial Support, Life Skills and ICT.

This policy framework aims to mitigate challenges that emerge from a lack of consistent and aligned policies among the IGAD member states

he IGAD Regional Health Data Sharing and Protection Policy framework seeks to provide clear guidance for the member states on health data sharing via a set of universal principles that ensure that health data is adequately protected.

IGAD’s core mandate includes fostering integration and cooperation among Member States and addressing the health concerns of cross- border mobile populations, internally displaced people, and refugees. 

It is an input into the planned outreach to partners and to provide details about the priority projects under the HoA Initiative.

Achieving gender equality in Land is a commitment both at global, regional and national levels.

Land is a crucial resource for the people living in the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) region.

Gender discrimination in access, control and ownership of land remains a serious impediment to socioeconomic development.
