2 November 2017. USAID LandLinks, along with Agrilinks, Microlinks, and a panel of experts, hosted an interactive online discussion on the Business Case for Land Rights: Private Sector Perspectives on Responsible Land-Based Investment. Secure, clear land rights are critical for sustainable land-based investments.

But in the developing world, where an estimated 70 percent of land is unregistered, it can be challenging to understand who has legitimate land and resource rights, and land grabs and land rights abuses are often associated with commercial investments.

Featured USAID partners, The Hershey Company and ECOM Agroindustrial Corporation, explored how each company thinks about and addresses land tenure risks in their supply chains. The discussion also delved into why and how these two companies are working with USAID to mitigate land tenure risks for their suppliers and increase cocoa yields in Ghana.
