With Asia facing an ageing farming
population, the Asian Farmers’ Association
for Sustainable Rural Development (AFA)
is aiming to attract youth to agriculture as
a priority by strengthening their agency.
With support from the International
Land Coalition, Food and Agriculture
Organization’s (FAO) Forest and Farm
Facility (FAO-FFF) and the International
Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD),
AFA implemented a series of leadership
trainings that resulted in the formation
of 10 young farmers’ committees at the
national level and one at the regional
level. It has developed strategic plans and
leadership for these organisations, has
enabled their representation at national and
regional events and has supported start-up
agri‑enterprises in different countries.
Land
administration, whether formal or informal, comprises an extensive range
of systems and processes to administer. The processes of land
administration include the transfer of rights in land from one party to
another through sale, lease, loan, gift and inheritance; the regulating
of land and property development; the use and conservation of the land;
the gathering of revenues from the land through sales, leasing, and
taxation; and the resolving of conflicts concerning the ownership and
the use of land. Land administration functions may be divided into four
components: Juridical, regulatory, fiscal, and information management.
Fishing is the activity of trying to catch fish or other aquatic organisms using a fishing gear-beach seine, cast net, drag net, trammel net, gill net, traps, hook and line, non- returned valve, harpoons etc. in the oceans (deep sea fishing) or aquaculture (enclosed body of water).

A Cadastre is normally a parcel based, and up-to-date land information system containing a record of interests in land (e.g. rights, restrictions and responsibilities). It usually includes a geometric description of land parcels linked to other records describing the nature of the interests, the ownership or control of those interests, and often the value of the parcel and its improvements.

`The term ``land'' as understood in customary law has a wide
application. It includes the land itself, i.e., the surface soil; the
things on the soil which are enjoyed with it as being part of the
land by nature, e.g., rivers, streams, lakes, lagoons, creeks,
growing trees like palm trees, or as being artificially fixed to it like
houses, buildings and any structures whatsoever; it also includes
any interest or right in, to, or over the land or over any of the
other things which land denotes, e.g., the right to collect snails
or herbs, or to hunt on land.'

Une bonne
gouvernance foncière peut être un facteur de développement local. En fait, l’implication
des jeunes et femmes africains dans les projets fonciers au niveau national et
continental pourrait booster le développement territorial et attirer les investisseurs
privés. La
participation des jeunes à la gouvernance foncière est accidentelle. C’est
parfois à travers des projets éphémères qui ne garantissent pas une participation durable et organisée. D’où la
nécessité d’une organisation comme Yilaa. Dans ces conditions, de grands défis
attendent les jeunes africains dans le cadre de la gouvernance foncière
responsable. D’abord, sur le plan juridique, il nous faut des réformes foncières adaptées aux objectifs du
développement durable intégrant les bonnes pratiques d’accès à la terre au
profit des jeunes. Ensuite sur le plan politique, une gouvernance responsable et équitable des
ressources foncières s’impose. En plus, sur le plan sociologique, il serait
important de promouvoir de bonnes
pratiques coutumières d’accès des jeunes
à la terre. Enfin, il faut préconiser une harmonisation des politiques foncières au profit des jeunes et des
femmes.
