Although economic disparities, political exclusion and deprivation in the distribution of political and economic power between the northern and southern parts of then united Sudan were often tendered as the proximal causes of the conflict, at the center of the prolonged civil war was the struggle for ownership, control and use of land resources. The tool underpinning this report is the Land Governance Assessment Framework (LGAF), a diagnostic instrument for rapid evaluation of various aspects of land governance. LGAF was developed through a collaborative effort between the World Bank, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), UN Habitat, International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD), the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the African Union (AU).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO LANDADMINISTRATIVE CAPACITYAGRICULTUREALLOCATION OF LANDCAPACITY BUILDINGCITIESCOMMON PROPERTYCOMMUNAL GRAZING LANDCOMPENSATIONCONFLICT RESOLUTION MECHANISMSCONSTRUCTIONDEVOLUTIONDWELLINGECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC RECOVERYECONOMIC STABILITYELECTRICITYENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONEXTERNALITIESFISHERIESFORESTHABITATHOUSINGINCOMEINSTITUTIONAL CHANGEINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKINSTITUTIONAL MAPIRRIGATIONLAND ADMINISTRATIONLAND DEVELOPMENTLAND GRABBINGLAND LEASELAND MANAGEMENTLAND MARKETLAND OWNERSHIPLAND PRICESLAND RIGHTSLAND SETTLEMENTLAND SPECULATIONLAND TAXATIONLAND TENURELAND TENURE RIGHTSLAND USELAND USE PLANNINGLAND USE RESTRICTIONSLAND USESLANDSLEVIESLICENSESLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL LEVELNATURAL RESOURCESPARTNERSHIPPASTORALISTSPASTUREPOLITICAL AUTHORITYPOPULATION DENSITYPRIVATE LANDPRIVATE SECTORPROPERTY OWNERSHIPPROPERTY RIGHTSPROPERTY TAXESPROPERTY VALUEPROVISIONSPUBLICPUBLIC GOODSPUBLIC LANDPUBLIC PROVISIONPUBLIC SPACESREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRESETTLEMENTRESIDENTIAL AREASRIVERROADSROUTEROUTESRURAL AREASRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL POPULATIONSCHOOLSSETTLEMENTSSTATE GOVERNMENTSTATE GOVERNMENTSSTATE OWNERSHIPTAXTAX COLLECTIONTAX RATESTAXATIONTOWN PLANNINGTOWNSTRANSPARENCYURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN COMMUNITIESURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN GROWTHURBAN LANDURBAN PLANNINGURBAN POPULATIONURBAN SETTLEMENTSURBANIZATIONUTILITIESWASTEZONING10.1596/20767
