Land governance & soil management-Building Functional States in Africa

Land, Soil, Governance: Building Functional States in Africa In 2025, STRATEGIES! placed land governance at the core of its reflection on state functionality in Africa. From Ethiopia to Germany, our teams explored a central question: how do land and soil management shape national stability, justice, and prosperity? This video highlights the major challenges — land tenure security, women and youth access to land, and sustainable soil management — while showcasing real, homegrown solutions developed across the continent through networks and platforms such as NELGA, WOCAT/AfrioCAT, and GIZ LandHub. As we move into 2026, one truth stands out: land is at the heart of development. To build states that are present, safe, sustainable, and hopeful, land governance must become the foundation of every public strategy. 👉 Watch, share, and join STRATEGIES! in shaping a functional, inclusive, and sustainable African continent. #LandGovernance #FunctionalStates #STRATEGIES #Africa2030 #SustainableDevelopment #SoilManagement
