2.2.1 General overview: Legal framework

In countries where Policy and legal framework still discriminate, it would be desirable to work towards
recognition of such tenure arrangements, and in the context of a national land policy framework, will spent huge
amounts of time discussing legal changes without efficient mechanisms of implementation.

In Mozambique, after more than five years of public debate and technical assistance, the Assembly of Republic
adopted a new Land Law in 31 July 1997. There have been some significant differences with regard to the 1998
Land Law in that:

- Local communities must be consulted prior to approving a concession request within their territory, and
local community should participate in the resolution of land conflicts involving private interests;

- Defines the mechanisms for representation and for the exercise of the local communities with regard to
the right of land use and benefit and recognize the customary (non-written) forms of evidence in the
resolution of land disputes between second and third parties;

- The possibilities for co-titling of land for women and men.
