Land reform speeds up
The Ministry of the Interior has reorganized the transfer of ownership of rain-fed agricultural land belonging to soulaliyate communities. Applications, supporting documents and a proposed land-division plan must now be submitted together to speed up their review. The minimum area eligible for transfer remains 10 hectares, though adjoining smaller plots cultivated by the applicant may be combined, or several beneficiaries may merge their plots through a joint application. Beneficiaries must be listed as members of the community, use the land directly and continuously, and commit to an agricultural project. An inventory presented in 2024 covered at least 670,000 plots, with a total area of approximately 1.26 million hectares. Around four-fifths of the plots fell below the minimum area, before the possibility of combining plots was taken into account. Procedures for registering the plots allocated for transfer of ownership have also been exempted from land-registry fees, while the Central Guardianship Council has approved individual applications covering approximately 16,000 hectares.
