Land-tenure security advisers
You guide farmers, cooperatives and investors through obtaining titles and securing their land rights for the long term.
Definition in the architecture : Support in obtaining titles and securing land rights
What you do
- Assess the land-tenure situation of a plot or project before any investment
- Steer registration, concession and long-term lease procedures
- Negotiate and formalise agreements with communities and customary rights-holders
- Prepare and follow up files with land offices and notaries
- Prevent and manage disputes over boundaries and ownership
You receive the farmers, cooperatives, herders and investors who occupy or seek land without holding formal rights to it. You rely on surveyors for plans, on notaries for deeds and on lawyers when disputes arise. You deliver clarified tenure to lenders, land developers and buyers. You secure the foundation of every agricultural project and you unlock access to credit, long leases and processing investments along the Produce – Process – Export chain.
Where are you found?These advisers work mainly in Yaoundé and Douala, near central land administrations and investors’ head offices. They are also found in regional capitals such as Bafoussam, Bamenda, Buea, Ebolowa, Bertoua and Garoua. Their assignments take them across the whole country, wherever agropastoral projects need a secure land base.
Why your business matters in Cameroon and Central Africa
The coexistence of customary and statutory law makes land tenure in Cameroon complex and a frequent source of conflict, between families, villages, farmers and herders, or communities and investors. Land-tenure advisers bring the method that leads to rights that are recognised and respected. They protect smallholders from eviction, reassure investors and banks, and make long-term plantations and processing units possible. Their contribution is essential to attracting capital into Cameroonian value chains and to meeting the social requirements of export markets and responsible sourcing schemes across Central Africa.
